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.

"Sorry" = not honest
She deserved to be called a birch salient
"Sorry" = an attempt to be polite. What's the better response? Is just a straight "No thanks" going to go over better?
Genuinely asking, what's the best way to reject a date offer if, "Sorry, not interested" is the wrong response?
If you made me some food, and I said: "I'm sorry, but I really do not like the taste of this food." that would be a polite way of saying to you: "I would rather I did like this food, because I like you as a person. But because of my respect for you, I am being honest. I do not like the food."
Once I got that exact response from my friend's hot sister and I believe she honestly meant it. I think she saw the embarrassment on my face. Neither of us wanted to make it any more awkward.
