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.

But like, it seems like she's a complete stranger to them, how are they supposed to compliment her on anything other than her looks? This comic is trying to make some sort of point but it's not making that point.
You handle that gun like a professional. I like your red shirt. I like your brown pants. I like your white shoes. You seem like a very take charge person.
That was after putting 5 seconds of thought into it.
3/5 of those were about her looks. The other two, yeah, I thought of that option just before posting but figured I'd let someone else say it. Just hoped they'd be less condescending about it.
Disagree. "Your looks" are features of you whereas your clothing and accessories are choices you make.
Okay, it's a bit of a grey zone. Your clothes are definitely part of your look but they are also choices.
This is some contextual pedantry but: "your look" and "your looks" are not the same thing, which is why i make the distinction.
