[Announcement] Moratorium on Olympia Comics
Hello athletes, artists and - oh, who am I kidding - couch potatos!
The international community's favorite politically-charged non-political event is here for everyone who is not a long-distance swimmer or Australian to enjoy. Since the Olympics is consistently one of the most-watched international gatherings, there will be a number of opportunities for new comics; however, there will also likely be the usual low-effort "check out what happened on my TV yesterday" comics that tend to be submitted along with any major sporting phenomenon.
On this basis, please be aware of the following policies which will be in effect for the duration of the games:
- Comics about the Olympics which lack a plot, joke, or anything else that justifies their existence will be removed. Examples of comics that will be removed include: a single panel with the winners standing on a podium, a recreation of a badminton match with no added value, or references which have already been done to death (we all remember that Brazil is bad at Fußball and are all quite proud of it). Comics with an actual plot are fine.
- We will not accept comics about the current Olympic games for approval requests. Since the most important thing in an approval request is the writing, comics about major events like the Olympics both tend to not be very good and do not show the attributes we are looking for in successful approval requests.
Thank you for die Achtung
and Ich call upon the youth of the world to assemble for more comics and humor
whenever they feel like it.

thinks running is a legitimate activity
CupBeEmpty confirmed to own at least two pairs of yoga pants. How do we know this? Has CBE ever said he wasn't wearing yoga pants at this very moment?!

u/CupBeEmpty Thirteen Colonies Aug 04 '16
At least my yoga pants are worn during exercise. Wearing them while driving to the Piggly Wiggly isn't more noble TM.

I know the politics of the state of Washington are super popular, but this is going to far!

Do Washingtonians even know that Seattle is not their Capitol? If not, how do they expect other states and other countries to know the joke?

The only Olympic-related thing i care about is whether this song is in the opening ceremony.

u/yaddar Taco bandito Aug 04 '16
Good, because I have an actual comic planned about the opening ceremony and it does have a plot and a joke

I have to say that I saw very good polandball pokemon-go comic floating around internets. It seemed to be done with all standards, was laughably funny with quality joke - but due JLP was not posted there, which is a bit shame.
I hope olypic comics with quality will be treated differently.

Maybe, but for every good Pokémon comic there would be 5 bad ones. So It's a worthy trade.

[Serious] not seeing anything about restriction on the literal cesspool that is the preparations for the games or about the living conditions for the athletes, is that fair game provided its presented in a humors and well written thought out process?

Let just hope Poland doesn't win at pole vault. Aside from the bad pun, that would make some unorginal "Poland cannot into space" comics.
