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.

Why on earth would we want to see this?!

Oh dear, how many times "you might want to see this" needed unsee juice after that
This feels like an indictment of passive language really. I like my language like I like my tigers, passive and sleepy.
M’am?
Come take a look at this cliche - ding
Could've been better without the fourth panel, I feel.
I think if you just remove her speech balloon, it works:
I think even "I said you might want to!" is too much. It smacks of a shoddy American sitcom where they say these non-jokes to cue the canned laughter. If they insist on having four panels, they could have a third panel with the two going through some security rigmarole, maybe stick in a few subtle visual jokes.
shift 1,2,3 to 2,3,4 and have 1 as an establishing shot of the nsa hq to make the setup clearer. right now it's like you see the punchline, then an extra panel, then go back to see what was the big deal and realize somewhere in the background it says nsa hq.
Well I did see the "NSA Headquarters" sign but I admit it'd be weird to have that on the wall in the office of the madam who might want to see things!
