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.

First off…there’s various iterations of Superwoman. Whether she’s wearing a short skirt or barely covering her nipples…the difference is a little more obvious than some weird generic hero.
But having tight clothes showing off ideal muscles isn’t the same level of sexualization as having tight clothes showing off a models body and skin.
Like this?
Comic book women are for straight men, and comic book men are for gay men (and the gayness within us all).
If comics were written for women they wouldn’t resemble any of this bullshit.
Have you ever seen the inside of a romantic fiction book written for women? They are just as full of this kind of bullshit, just with a lot more overt sex.
Not the topic. I never claimed illustrated erotica for women didn’t exist. Please.
Did you forget what you claimed?
Media created for women contains exactly this kind of bullshit, so why would comics written for women be an exception?
In fact, comics written for women contain exactly this kind of bullshit.
Uh huh... Even threw in some vintage books in there.
Pretty far afield from the topic.
The person before you posted pictures of comics written for women that contain this bullshit. It's an exact answer to your statement. How is this "pretty far afaild from the topic"?
Did you forget your claim or the topic we were talking about?
