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.

She's seen it all, both on TV and in her diner:
I love it when artists add off-plot detail like that.
Wow, what a great compliment. I was actually giggling while I was sketching her, so I appreciate that someone noticed the detail.
Cheers.
wait, OP is the artist?! I... I didn't know that actually happened.
well done!! i love your art style, it really references back to some great classics.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
I don't even know what it is, but i love that art style. It reminds me a lot of my childhood, where my parents and their friends had a lot of mainly french posters or these vintage metal pictures at home. The people were often portrayed a bit like that, the nose, the line work and the deformed body.
Thanks again to everyone on this thread for their kind comments about the artwork. Nothing more gratifying than to have your work appreciated.
You drew this. Thank you!
You were thinking of a longneck dino when you drew her, weren't you?
I don’t think I was thinking much at all. Just kind of imagining the weathered waitresses I’ve seen a hundred times in highway waffle houses. The kind who smell like cigarettes and call you “darling.”
