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.

So would you consider it, potentially... lazy?
I think it would be lazy to abstain from the barest of effort, yes.
Well I think the original comic achieves more than the barest effort then. We have the setup (why seatbelt on plane?), the vaguely dark-humoured explanation, the absurdist 'oh ok that makes sense' as the punchline (where, y' know, a lot of the humour is because so many people identify with that 'i don't care if the truth is dark I just want to know' idea). Anyway. Not lazy.
Wow, achieves more than the barest effort, I'm glad this comic has come so far.
