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 feel like the fourth panel is what throws me off and left me scratching my head. Based on the previous one I'd imagine both of them to hype each other up, not just the man saying his former wife is single.
I thought the comic was wholesome.
But they're claiming that if they stop being funny, they'll die. Was this supposed to be funny?
Artists are funny like that
(from the link)
Why'd you delete that? It was pretty funny. Unless it was real and not a joke in which case that's sad.
That's exactly why I deleted it. Seemed a little too dry and slightly mean right after I posted it, so I immediately hit delete.
~~The comic makes sense to me if the driver is not identifying as a trans man while the passenger is a lesbian. It doesn't make sense to me if they're nonbinary or any other form of gender queer. I say this as someone whose spouse has come out of nonbinary and have friends whose spouses have come out as nonbinary. It doesn't feel "divorce worthy" to me. To be honest, I don't view your partner coming out as trans as being "divorce worthy" but I would at least understand an amicable split. It feels enbyphobic to split because they're nonbinary.~~
~~That's why I interpret it at the driver being a man, because the comic makes more sense that way to me and it feels, to me, maybe a little bigoted otherwise. But I say that with a grain of salt because I'm not sure if the comic is meant to be like a joke or a story or even biographical of the author's own life. Not sure if that makes sense lol.~~
The comic is biographical of the author's life. Also the extra panel clearly addresses everything.
It says the driver is open to dating all genders. So only the wife doesn't lineup here.
