- 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).

We saw a man propose to his wife in a cute way. There was a person playing music and he got on his knees. She said yes and people were being supportive.
Then I got down on my knee and proposed to my wife (again). My wife said no and walked away.
I then quietly left the area to the awkward strangers, turned the corner to find my wife laughing at me.
your wife sounds fun, is she single?
Or at least available ;)
That is fucking fantastic. 😆 😊
Save money by proposing at the same time
As far as I can tell, only one of them is actually proposing and has a ring while the others are about to get a really rude awakening.
True, that's how the comic works. I was spinning it further
Or the others will just have 4 awkward conversations
I didn't get you a ring because it's an exploitative industry
But I got you this burger king onion ring!
But then I got hungry so I ate it.
We could make an app for that!

That one guy must feel weird about having hair.
Maybe it's a topless girl
Not unlikely at all if it's a European beach.
I'm so confused
See, a skywriter is a guy who gets paid to write messages in the sky with a plane's exaust. It's not so much a thing anymore, but it used to be the type of thing you'd see in movies.
So this guy does that, on a beach, and proposes to his girlfriend. Meanwhile the other 4 couples can also see the message on account of how skies work. But those other 4 guys had no intention of proposing that day. So now they're on a beach, their girlfriends are excited for something that isn't coming, meanwhile the couple in yhe middle IS having a proposal.
Very much a thing if you live near a municipal airport, much less a thing if you don't.
Oh I didn't see the plane XD. I thought it was just what they were all saying
There is bald lady
And topless, and probably has a huge cock
Or maybe a vagina
