- 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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

You're wrong, this is obviously a reference to Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. In act 2, Scene 1 Petruchio says to Katherine: "Who knows where a wasp does wear his sting - In his tail." After a back and forth Petruchio says: "What, with my tongue in your tail! Nay, come again, Good Kate, I am a gentleman." This comic clearly swaps the roles of Petruchio and Katherine to say something very profound about our society, definitely not a dumb horny comic
I'm not sure how I missed this. It's so obvious when you think about it!
