- 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).

When I was in high school, the worry was finding a cool punk band and discovering they were skinheads.
Obligatory
"skinhead" isnt as settled a term as it may appear. Nazi fucks gave punk a bad name by getting associated with them.

Some reading for those unfamiliar.
Theres a good documentary i cant find explaining the history of skinheads. If i find it ill post it too
I'm active in the punk scene and I know a lot of skinheads and they're all hardcore antifascists.
In the US "skinhead" has a different meaning besides just being bald and aggressive. It's what neo-nazis are referred to as because they co-opted that whole punk look.
Honestly, I blame cops. Cops proudly look like thumbs over here, so right wingers have mostly captured the bald aesthetic. Bald and aggressive white men are assumed to be fascists because that's what off duty cops look like. It's worse to look like a cop than a civilian Nazi skinhead.
