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.

Blind people are her only option, but there's the open question if picturing her face after feeling with the fingertips triggers the effect. If yes, it's memetic and not her gaze.
Fucking perfect response, lmao. Got a good chuckle out of me man, thanks!
Seeing her reflection in a mirror is safe, so I would think the blind would be safe.
Only a special mirror - medusa gets defeated by a polished shield iirc
Edit: i misremembered
Find a blind guy with aphantasia.
There truly is someone for everyone 🤣
Can blind people from birth picture things?
Daniel Kish, a man with blindness, uses echolocation to navigate the world and teaches others how to do it. He had done a bit of tv stuff and I think a TED-like talk or two about blindness and perception.
I don't have any direct quotes, but you may find your answer from him.
I remember the late Ben Underwood whom had the same talent. One bit stuck with me comes to mind when Ben was walking the neighborhood with a tv reporter... "What's to my right", reporter asks. "{Click click} It's the side of a house, uh with stuff in front of it.", and Ben replies with more detail, "{click click} ...cans, yup garbage cans."
That would put the fingertips in range of the snakes though.
