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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I guess this is supposed to be funny but it reads as sad and abusive to me.
Does the last panel of the child shaking in fear of their parent really give off “this is a humorous comic” vibe?
Yeah, I took this to be a fairly serious comic. Parents do shit like this to their kids. The author just heightened the extremity of the situation to show how bad and harmful it is.
I do think this could have used a CW or something though. I'm feeling a bit of good ol' activation after reading it. Got that fun little ick vibe in my stomach and my arms are buzzing a bit.
I’m sorry for that, I do apologize.
It's okay. I get activated by shit all the time, so I'm used to soothing and chilling out.
