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.

Wow the comments here are really poorly informed. Women getting sexually assaulted isn't some rare thing. 1 in 5 women get sexually assaulted in their lifetime and nearly all women have a scary experience. It's not some rare thing that's being drummed up through fear mongering, it's a very real threat all women have to worry about.
Frankly, I don't want to hear the opinions of a bunch of men who never go outside and have no real world experience about the reality of sexual assault.
Men get sexually assaulted as well, difference is nobody gives a shit.
They are, and we should care more, but women are still 10 times more likely to be assaulted which makes their daily fear far more elevated, and the assaults against men, are still being perpetrated by men, so it doesn't even really change anything.
Plus, we are taught by everyone around us that we should be afraid, except by men who feel like it's more traumatizing to be feared than to actually experience objectification.
