Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The amount of unconfirmed or secondhand propaganda we get out of north korea is pretty astounding, I wouldn't at face believe, say, whatever a guardian article posts about them, for instance, and probably also not anything from radio free asia, or probably defectors with inconsistent stories that are funded by the south korean government, that sort of shit.
That's fair enough, I did read recently on this site that they did blur jeans on a broadcast of a show. The site claims to be as unbiased as they can but I haven't done deep research into them.

They have a content syndication agreement with the guardian, and I think they poorly cite their sources in most stories. I wouldn't really have great confidence with their reporting.
