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.

Maybe it's because the character looks like a literal child. And, yes, that would make it a bad comic. So, I agree with your interpretation.
And I still think it's a bad comic.
To everyone downvoting the people who thought it was a child at first: Crop out the first cell in the comic and send it to all your friends and ask, is this a drawing of a child or an adult on a date?

Oh, I know. I still hate it. "Super deformed". Yeah, that sounds about right.
Relax, no one is obliged to agree with anyone. You thought it was a kid, I disagree. I didn't think it was a kid, you disagree. We each decide whether to give upvote or downvote to the post and go on with our lives.
And my question was legit, with no malicious intent. It really didn't cross my mind that it was a kid, but anyway....
My reply was written while perfectly calm, with no malicious intent. 🤷
My last paragraph was added as an edit when looking at Jax's comment and seeing it was downvoted into oblivion. It wasn't directed at you.
