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.

Tone of voice makes a difference. The scarf and especially the bag aren't associated with body parts, which is better when it's a man to women. He should compliment men as well. As a woman, I can say "Cute shoes!" without coming off fetishy, might not be so easy for a guy. Also, guy to guy, "wow, looks like you could run so fast in those shoes!" could be nice and funny, but frightening guy-to-girl. Sadly, a young woman can hardly compliment a young man without risking him hearing "I will fuck you" instead of whatever she really said. And being angry because she "led him on." But now I'm old, I can. Still keeping it uncreepy of course, because most young guys don't want to feel leered at by saggy old ladies. Always keep the power/age/gender dynamic in mind and imagine being the other before opening your mouth.
