- 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).

Uh sure, the neoliberals are to blame
Neoliberals probably commidicized that person's personality.
That's kinda their thing.
Stupid neoliberal 4000 year old profession.
Isn’t it mostly a front anyway?
As much as professional masseuse is. Which is to say often enough, but not so often that honest professionals don't have to deal with creeps who can't take a hint on the regular.
"If you want me to stroke your hair and tell you everything's gonna be okay, that's extra."
Worth every cent.
Butters' bitches selling hugs and kisses on the playground.
Yes I know what you are saying
Prostitute: .... here's $5, now go away!
This is a real thing. Sex workers often report having clients who don't want sex but just attention (physical or otherwise).
Keep going. Eventually the physical pain of having no human contact goes away entirely. The longing for touch becomes weird and foreign. Then nothing matters and you are free finally.
Ah, straight Lemmy here
"GFEs cost extra."
Free hugs!
What's Hugs in for?
Hugs shot JR
For freeing Hat!
You slut.
Where tho?
Free hugs… on your dick?
I expect dick hugs to be much cheaper that full-body hugs.
Years ago in Hyde Park there was a man with a Free Hugs sign. I walked up and asked, “Are you giving or receiving?” He shrugged and we hugged.
Best comment I've read in ages
Wow, high praise indeed! Thank you.
Of note that I failed to mention was that this man was on Speaker’s Corner and nestled amongst a dozen others shouting and ranting their particular rendition of Truth. I spotted him immediately and was drawn in. He being the obvious and most sensible option for engagement.
Premiums hugs that I rather not give away because people are monsters, $250 for 5 seconds.
The true attention whore
$100.
And can I pay over 6 weeks?
Both fully clothed? Double-safe hug! Smaller chance of actual skin-to-skin contact.
For a minute I thought she had a five-o-clock shadow. Turns out my screen was dirty.
