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.

On a tangent, here I go:
Wedding dress delivered. Groom never returned.
He called once. Then silence forever.
Letters unopened. He died that week.
Dog waited. Door never opened again.
She smiled. Then the monitors flatlined.
Mirror smiled after I walked away.
Closet door open. I never moved.
Funeral today. I’m still breathing, barely.
Grave dug early. They knew already.
My reflection blinked. I did not.
Two hearts: One stayed, one wandered.
Her perfume lingered years after goodbye.
Lottery won. Lost the ticket. Typical.
Ghosted her. Married her later. Oops.
Bought a treadmill. Great clothes rack.
Sold soul. Gave refund. Customer dissatisfied.
Baby monitor crackled. Crib was empty.
He knocked. She’d buried him yesterday.
The photograph moved slightly overnight. Again.
Door locked. Knob still turned slowly.
She smiled. Her eyes stayed still.
Found diary. Last entry dated tomorrow.
Wedding called off. Groom found headless.
Funeral roses wilted before they arrived.
Swings creaked. Children gone years ago.
Widow slept. Husband’s ring felt warm.
Coffin opened. No one inside, again.
Did the doll wink at me?
Mother hummed lullabies to the ashes.
Eyes in mirror weren’t my color.
House sighed. Walls remembered the screaming.
Child drew me perfectly...before meeting.
Therapist wrote “delusional.” Then vanished, too.
The dog one is the saddest.
Can't beat Hemingway at his game.
Writing short stories is very hard.
