'der Streifen' and 'der Strip' can both mean something long and narrow, or a short picture story. 'Streifen' is the normal German word and is used very broadly, for example for a piece of paper, a line, or a narrow section of land. 'Strip' is more often used in fixed expressions or contexts influenced by English, especially in 'Comicstrip' or in English place names. Careful: 'Strip' can also mean an erotic show; 'Streifen' does not have this meaning. So although the words may look similar, they are not always interchangeable.
