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.

Have you ever gone up to a stranger and asked them to give you something for free? It's about 1000x more socially awkward than anything the other person could do. So, the other person doesn't need to stress, at all.

Whether they give you something once, or they give you more than one thing, or they don't give you anything, it is a trivial thing compared to asking. My advice is just do what you want to do, and if you think about it and change your mind later, then, just do the other thing.

One time, somebody came up to me on the street and asked me for money, and I said, "sorry," and he got super pissed off at me. He said something like, "You can shove your 'sorry'." I assume he wasn't used to begging, and was ready for people to either give him money or ignore him, but he wasn't ready for the awkwardness of somebody speaking to him to refuse. Begging is super awkward.
