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.

I'm going to edit this tomorrow to make him happy instead of sad. "fuck yeah, mars rules! I'm never going back to smelly earth!" etc.
I could have sworn there was an xkcdsw exactly like that, but there doesn't seem to be. Some of them are a bit happier though
E.g. http://xkcdsw.com/3968 , http://xkcdsw.com/2485 , and others if you click "browse by source" at the bottom and search for "spirit"
Uh what exactly is supposed to be on that site? It's a dogecoin scam site, not something related to xkcd.
Weird - I'm seeing that now too. But I wasn't at the time that I copy and pasted the links, and you can see from the other replies around 8 hours ago that other people were also seeing a site hosting edited versions of xkcd comics. I guess it has suddenly changed, after years of being up, in the few hours after I posted it? I have no idea what happened there.
I can't believe it, missed it by a few hours.
How the fuck does this even happen - was the site hacked?
Super late, but I figured it out because it happened again in a more recent comment. Lemmy seems to automatically change the links to https instead of http, even when http was explicitly included in the url. Somehow, xkcdsw is a completely different site on https than on http. If you copy the link into an external browser and remove the s, the link works as intended. I can only assume this is a behavior of the lemmy app(s), which is why it didn't affect some users. Were you using jerboa?
