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.

Weird Al actually licenses the songs for parodying because free use is thin ice.
Most of Al's music isn't parody. Smells like Nirvana is one of very few that is, as the song Al writes is about the original work/artist
Amish paradise is another and probs my favourite of Al's
Amish paradise is not a parody. Coolio actually had a case if he had sued.
Fair use.
Free use is... a different thing.
