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.

Great collection, some of these are really good (boys). I'm unsure about the 7th from below though, I feel like the punchline is just transphobia.
I don't know if it's really transphobic (though please correct me if I'm wrong). I think the joke is that dogs don't really have a concept of gender, hence it being a little bit absurdist for a dog to correct it.
I dont think I agree. To me, the punchline reads at best like "haha isnt the concept of trans people hilarious?" Or at worst like "wow look at this dog being haughty and elitist! Isnt that just like trans people? Lolol"
Or maybe, you guys are both wrong and reading too much into an off the cuff joke lol¹
¹Unless the artist is a known transphobe
Yeah I didn't get that at all
I think the joke is that the dog is not a good boy. Hence he’s “seen the darkest pits of despair”.
I'm pretty sure you're referring to the 6th comic from below
Huh, that’s interesting. We’re counting differently. To me, the very last comic is the 1st comic from below, so “I identify as female” is the 8th to last, or the 8th from below.
Edit: I was a little rude the first time, so ill just say they are not referring to that comic. They are referring to the one where the dog says "pardon me, but i identify as female". In that one the joke basically boils down to "haha trans people exist, isnt that funny?"
