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.

It's called an art style. Most artists have that.
I don't mean the style, I mean the exact same layout, expressions, comedic formula, etc
I swear I've seen like 5 of these comics where the drawing is literally identical with only the dialogue changed
Not hating, obviously folks like em, just making am observation
Look up Dinosaur Comics. Been doing the same shtick for years!
Maybe it's the simplicity of the art style. Big round heads, small body's, usually posed standing, everyone is same shape, dialogue focused comedy. I don't know, I'm just spit balling here.
Edit: having a look at the website the comic is publishes you are right. Hell you're even more right today since the last two comics are almost exactly same. Same characters, same positioning, same actions. The only difference is the dialogue and the facial expressions.
I imagine the artist has a bunch of stock art he just cuts and pasted in to the comic so he doesn't have to redraw something he's already drawn.
It's the cyanide and happiness formula - copy and paste anything that doesn't absolutely need to be redrawn.
