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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Well, I'm an old fuck, and I don't give a fuck.
I made a friendly acquaintance with a cashier at the local grocery because he was wearing a band shirt and didn't actually know anything about the band. Offered to introduce him to some of their stuff, he liked it, and now we talk music when I go there.
Now, I will say that if you're going to wear a shirt portraying something that's part of pop culture like a band or movie, you need to be open to conversations about it, same as you would with anything else you're advertising on your body. You wear a Cowboys hat, expect football discussions, even if it was just something you found, you dig?
That's a good move. Something in the artwork resonated enough for them to put in on their body and I think of how many times intriguing artwork was what drove me to listen to a new album.
That's why I tend to not wear any of my Dead shirts out and about. I don't have time for a 2 hour discussion on why I think the early 80s stomped everything else, except maybe '77 Cornell.
Being told that you should expect comments from random strangers based on your clothes is kind of creepy, tbh. Why can't people keep to themselves?
Talking to people about shared interests isn’t creepy. Calling any form of socialization creepy is pretty cringe, though
Humans are social creatures.
Band shirts are literally for announcing that you have a common interest with fans of the band.
