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.

Old people really do smell different tho.
There is even a Wikipedia entry about it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_person_smell
If only there was some other way to tell if someone was old.
Hey man, you just never truly know unless you smell someone.
I've seen a study that suggested that there's a gland behind our ears that becomes more active as we grow older that could possibly be the source of that smell. If true, maybe older people just don't have the mobility to raise their hands above their shoulders or just don't wash often enough anymore. Either way, for the past decade or so I never skip washing behind my ears, just in case lol.
