As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520.

    Someone pointed out the other day that this cartoonist likes to “connect” the scenes in the panels, and now I notice it every time it happens.

      how does it work in this strip? I noticed a few cross panel things in other comics (Jucika pointing at a woman in a previous panel)

        It’s just pleasantly aligned, not necessarily a connected scene. The overpass lines up in this one, and the track does in the post from yesterday.

          oh ok. I was expecting more of an explicit overlap like the one I pointed out here :

          https://lemmy.world/post/45852061/23322340

          Those (these?) two seem more… general?

            Oh yeah, I didn’t notice that the other day until you mentioned it. It’s nicely done and sort of 4th wall breaking.

            The comic where someone first commented on it was this one, where the 2nd and 3rd panels sort of connect:

            Since then, I’ve been noticing that the artist seems to like doing this on purpose.

      “yutsikah”, with the ut in “yut” sounding like “put”, apparently.

      I believe it’s pronounced something like “YOOTS-ika” in the original Hungarian.

      Me, I have an Hungarian uncle, and actually have been to Lac Balaton, where I had to learn some basic Hungarian in order to order ice cream for a few forints. XD

      Eh… FWIW?

    Last year I took a steam train. It’s a real 100 year old steam train running all summer on a 20km track, as a tourist attraction. Goes through nice landscapes, pretty cool experience in general.

    But, yeah, on the return trip we chose the car closest to the engine. The smoke is definitely something.

      If you haven’t seen It the largest steam train in the world was restored by union pacific, #4014 big boy. It’s basically two heavy freight locos welded together into one machine over a hundred feet long. Lots of great videos of it online including a great video where it helps out a stalled mainline freight train running actual customer UP freight.

      There’s one in Bournemouth that runs to Corfe Castle? I forget the route, but it was fun. Super torquey. They used the same one in the Dunkirk movie

        The one I got on is on the other side of the Channel :)

        In northern Britanny specifically.

      That reminded me of riding the Skunk Train when I was a kid over 40 years ago. I looked it up and it’s nice to see it’s still in service!

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)

Web of Links
  • !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: “I use Arch btw”
  • !memes@lemmy.world: memes (you don’t say!)
