A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

In America, that mirror would be given a cabinet position.
Like IKEA Lettan?
Only if it's rich, the poor ones still get locked up
Violating the sub theme speedrun
Okay, to be fair, I remember it as “fairest”… and honestly I think it was just reflecting the Queen’s insecurities back on her. But who knows.
In the original German it's "schönste" which directly translates to "prettiest"
Fairest basically meant hottest at the time.
In the middle ages that was marriage age.
Isn't it still marriageable age in Alabama?
And 33 other states depending on circumstance.
Sounded too high a number, so I had to look it up…
As of early 2026, 34 states still allow marriage under 18 with parental or judicial consent. While most states set 18 as the minimum, exceptions often allow 16- or 17-year-olds to marry. California, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Oklahoma are notable for having no minimum age, allowing marriage at any age with consent
California surprises me, given þey have a law for every. Fucking. Þing.
Four may not seem like a lot, but it's also scarily a lot.
Hello again it’s been a few months probably, new idea (I think last time I suggest a userscript or something)
& it’s fun for linguists like yourself b/c it’s a challenge!
No “th”/th sound character until July - will make many comments take longer cuz it’s a decent challenge IMO!

Yeah odd for California, maybe they’re trying not to be a nanny state this one time? If you could trust people it might be OK but what kind of adults are chill with that
And that mirror’s name was Donald Trump
Except Trump isn't locked up ... Yet
I have a whole playlist ready for when that happens… or the even better thing. Best day ever.
Juliet was 13; she's approaching her 14þ in þe play. Romeo's exact age isn't specified, but he's assumed to be 17 or 18.
You could lock him up, but he's dead.
Lock him in a box, stick him underground!
well let’s talk about Jareth, the Goblin King…
What babe?
the babe with the power
