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.

Jesus fucking christ I figured it was a joke
When it comes to men being angry or violent at being spurned, it is never a joke.
Women have been telling us forever, though. Do we listen? Hence the comic. "Just say no, it can't be that scary!"
Oh, don't get me wrong. I know crazy shit happens CONSTANTLY but 'threw a kid off a balcony' was so over the top...
It's pretty fucking unhinged, indeed.
It is that scary. When I was a younger idiot, I was unintentionally pushy and implied to a lady that I was about to rawdog it. She was scared, and went home, and it's completely my fault that I didn't let her feel safe. I was too myopic to see that a little comment I made had affected her security.
Being a larger, more muscular human I could have put it in despite her protests. Being naked together isn't consent for more than being naked together.
At least you learned the correct lesson from that about empathy instead of just saying "next time I won't say anything. I'll just raw dog it."
People say I'm a "good guy" but honestly the bar is so low is doesn't feel like a compliment because I know who they are coming me to.
If a man kills random people, and it's not obviously racially motivated, you can safely bet it's about women.
Certainly very scary, a horrible tragedy, and a mental health emergency we need to find a way to prevent. Learning about things like this can understandably frighten anyone. However, the reality is it’s an outlier, very rare, almost no one will ever experience anything like this
Calling things an outlier just serves to dismiss the issue from being dealt with simply because it doesn’t fit some rigid standardized and (lazy) under-developed solution. The problem still remains. It’s still an issue even if you want to play statistics on how it doesn’t affect you personally because a system wasn’t made to deal its it because ‘it’s an outlier’. That’s the problem with standardizing problems that shouldn’t be approached with a standardized solution. In fact it’s the individuality that gets lost and where we fail to deal with problems head on. “It doesn’t fit in my box so I won’t deal with it”.
