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.

Why do women love true crime so much? I have a theory.

Yeah, I think it's good.

Look, we're apes. We like being scared by things when we're not really in any danger. See roller coasters, scary movies, etc. We're also fascinated by conflict, when we can watch it from a safe distance. We find weapons interesting. And so-on.

I'm guessing that for a long time, those things have been seen as masculine, and have been geared towards a male audience. If True Crime lets women indulge in that sort of thing while feeling like they belong, that's great. But, I also hope they start participating in more things that are stereotypically male, like martial arts.
