- 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).

There are! We just can’t afford them…
This is how you end up on the No Fly List and eventually go viral lol
My custom book cover says "How to live with a huge penis".
"Really? In The Twenty First Century? Hand Foot And Mouth Disease and You" is another page turner
I've actually seen photos of this technique used on Japanese trains, where it's evidently super-common for people to stare at foreigners for minutes on end without an ounce of self-awareness.
Couldn't find any photos of such via quick search, but did find this: http://reykjavik.jp/tsb/
Some guy very kindly created a cover for people to print out and slip over whatever books they're reading. XD
Link doesn't seem to work
In my desktop Chrome, it does say "not secure" next to the link, so possibly the website is being auto-rejected by your browser for safety reasons.
So then, I'll just upload one of the three pics and copy-paste some text:
Through the years living in Japan, I heard many non-Japanese friends complain of staring in public. One such incident inspired this, a book cover for a fictional book called Why Do Japanese People Stare At Foreigners? by fictional author Masao Suzuki (coincidentally the ex-president of department store Matsuzakaya shares the same name).
The idea is simple, print out this cover and wrap it around a suitable book. Then once you get stared at in public to the point of discomfort, take out the book and start reading with the cover facing the starer. The person is then made aware of the situation in the most Japanese of ways, through non-confrontation.
The real life hack is writing it all over your face.
