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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Even One Punch Man, a pretty benign series that avoids sexual topics, has Tatsumaki who looks like a pre-teen. I know she's supposed to be older, but when I first saw get I thought she was supposed to be 8 or something.
There's making fun of the trope, and then there's actually leaning into it. I've seen the series and I've read the manga. It's certainly getting leaned into.
8? Where did you get that from?
Okay, I'm usually very bothered with female characters looking ultra-young, but Tatsumaki never registered as that young to me. I might have thought late teens at the earliest.
Seeing her for the first time had me thinking "what is with this sassy lost child?"
