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.

When I was 13-14 I had this best friend, named Amber. I was terribly gay, and she dreadfully lesbian. Neither one of us had admitted it to the other, or even really ourselves. But there was a connection, and everyone just assumed we were dating. Including her dad, who spent most of his time overseas. Former military, and now he's over there with some private fucking army or some shit. Absolutely terrifying man. Divorced from her mom, but stays with them whenever he's stateside.

Anyway, her mom had met me once or twice, but never in the context of us dating, which we had basically decided to just go along with. Her dad came home one week, and I was so freaked out about meeting him, because I'd heard all these stories. I went over to get her, and her dad told me to come inside.

Dude was freaky, kind of an asshole, but no over protective dad shit.

Then her mom came in the room, dad asked her if she'd met "Amber's boyfriend"

Mom was like, "yeah, but he didn't tell me he was dating my daughter"

And then she looks me dead in the eye, and with witnesses tells 14 year old me "listen, tubby, if she ends up pregnant I'll fuck your ass with her father's rifle so hard you'll spit bullets"

Her mother is so much more terrifying than her father. Super Catholic, super scary, super Chancla energy

This was long before I was alive, but apparently when my sister committed the act for the first time, she came home to my mom, who took a look at her and said "ohhh, she had seeeexxxxxxx!"

I'm not really sure which approach seems preferable.
