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" = 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?
I wasn't really being serious but I would say, yes
Sorry = something has gone wrong
No thanks = I'm not interested in an offer but also not apologizing for my actions
Anybody who responds to rejection this way will likely handle it poorly no matter what but don't frame it as your own failure
