Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

I don’t get it. Is there a rotating 1kW laser mounted on my head that may decapitate a woman slightly taller then me I didn’t recognize all my life?!
People treat dating apps as a filter, and think that they'll only get people that match what they entered. So it becomes a wishlist for them. If they met a really great guy who happened to be short, sure they'd date him. But all other things being equal, would they prefer a tall guy to a short guy? Yes. All things aren't equal of course, but other stuff is harder to quantify. There's no "not an asshole" filter, for example.
So what "If you're not 6 feet tall, don't bother" really means is "Hit me up anyway, we might click."
No, it means 'I'm a vapid person and you're dodging a bullet by swiping left on me'.
Seriously, those people are a godsend. Thank you for telling me to stay far away lol I'd never want to be dating someone like that.
The "dodged a bullet" idiom is well-meaning, but after a while, you feel like a soldier who survived storming the beach at Normandy, what with all of the bullets you dodged.
I also put “I have a small dick” and no women want to reply to me.
1kW is too low
yeah It makes no sense.
What.
Did he love the fact that she was taller than him or hate it?
Yeah, that’s pretty weird. Like even if I weirdly wanted to sleep, like actually sleep, on top of another person, I’m fairly spectating I couldn’t. It would just be uncomfortable.
I love my height, would love to be even a couple inches taller, but the legit short guys I've been with did make me feel insecure because they were sort of fetishists, only one in a way I felt ok about; they NEEDED a woman taller than them the same way women do to guys.
What someone pointed out to me once though, was that maybe I was implementing my own bias and didn't want to be with a guy so much taller than me because I'm not used to feeling short and it isn't a good feeling to me. So even though my conscious mind thinks I'm irritated by tall men's obsession with short women, and my daughters think I kind of robbed them of their potential height, it probably is an affirmative preference not just a default result.
