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.

Music royalties are weird. Somebody that understood it way better than me explained it probably better than I will. From what I remember there is basically a performance, lyrics, and music portion. So when an artist covers a song they only get the performance part. The original artist gets the other two parts(assuming the music/lyrics weren’t written by somebody else). Since Al is redoing the lyrics he gets the performance and lyrics part but he’s still sticking money in the original artists pockets for the music portion. Most artists are plenty happy to have Al use one of their songs.
