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.

Look at the chairs, the chair practically dwarfs her.
Not to mention, why would an adult eat like they've forgotten where their mouth is?
Ya'll can downvote me, you're wrong.
It looks like you never met someone really REALLY hungry and a total mess (like myself)
I have never eaten with an adult that is so messy that spaghetti is thrown across the table, no. I have eaten with children that messy, though.
Fella, you're taking a obviously hyperbolic (exaggerated) comic to face value... Of course no adult eat like that, and that's kinda the punchline of the comic.
You’ve missed the joke. It’s that spaghetti is messy to eat, exaggerated for comic effect to show this date is particularly messy.
But judging by your other comment you seem set more that this comic is telling the tale of some one who’s adopted a child and finding out said child hurls their spaghetti around.
I've never met anyone who could survive a piano falling on them either. It's a cartoon, dipshit.
Both of the chairs are extremely simplistically drawn, and are both just full backed chairs that go up to each person's shoulders.
The last two panels are the same perspective, just reversed, and both people are basically the same size and height.
... they could both be kids, or both adults, or one is a very large child and the other is a diminuitive adult.
The chairs do not evidence your claim.
Frankly, the art style is fairly obviously modled after animal crossing humans, the whole idea is that its kind of a chibi take on young adults in terms of body frame shape, head/body proportions, with no obvious way to determine age beyond extreme age indicated by stylized wrinkles and smile lines.
Yeah I just don't care, I think I can count on one hand the amount of comics I can relate to from this person - I'll just leave it at it's not for me
