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.

I was told the first line repeatedly as a teenager, and stopped wearing makeup a few years later as a result. Then I’d hear intermittent comments about how I look tired because I have thin skin around my eyes. I look tired no matter what I do. But whatever because I save a bunch of time every morning and evening, not to mention money. Holy hell is makeup expensive!

Now as an adult nearing middle age who stopped even using hair dye, I’m starting to hear that I’d be prettier if I did my makeup/hair better.. and I just go “yeah, probably.” And shrug. I’ve accepted there’s no winning, someone will always comment, so I just do what I like. Not my problem if that makes you feel insecure enough to try to change my behavior.

Saw this text on a workplace toilet about what women see/think when they look in the mirror, over the course of a lifetime.

The young ones see a princess, then Cinderella, etc. At some point in the middle ages it's "at least I'm clean", and the last one is "I put on my purple baret and don't give a fuck". Can't wait to get to that stage.
