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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

"May the best daddy win"
"sitting on an ice pack" 😅
That's because the LGBT equivalent would be 'We're trying to adopt a baby!'. The dude in this comic is just being obnoxious.
Congrats, you can understand why everyone in the comic is reacting that way.
“Someone shared their big life changing news with me, how can I make this all about me instead”
Life changing news is actually being pregnant. You don't need to tell anyone he's been rawdogging you.
I don't plan on ever having kids and I don't really get the desire to, but I can respect that deciding to have a baby is a big decision and you might want to share that with your friends and others.
Like I laugh at the idea of people telling others that they're raw dogging it but I think people who actually get upset over it come across as either squeamish or incel-ish
I don't think many people are actually upset over it. Its mostly just jokes about the implication of the term.
I feel like hypothetically it is a worthwhile thing to share with your friends that you and your partner have decided you want children and that the time is now. It's a big life decision, and when the time comes for myself and my partner, I will definitely want to talk with my close friends about it.
The conversation doesn't have to be about raw dogging, instead it could be about planning for children. Many people plan for children in advance of getting pergenat.
If it comes up in conversation with close friends, absolutely let them know that you're starting to plan for a child. But making it something to announce like it's an occasion is very weird energy.
I think what both comics miss is that sex can be for a purpose other than straight up pleasure, it’s a means to an end. Also it’s very possible if someone says this that sex isn’t working very well for them in making a baby…and they might be doing things like IVF, etc.
I agree with the sentiment but i don't think either comics are meant to be taken as actual criticisms of telling people you're trying for a baby
sometimes jokes are just jokes
Never seen this one before.
Pretty funny!
