- 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).

That beard always confuses me cause you take some time to actually shave, but not enough required to do the whole face. You could just go full lazy and not bother to do the cheeks. There must be a functional reason they do this.
If you have a beard and don't trim anything, it looks bad anyway. You should be trimming the neck or other stray hairs to make it look clean.
Some people's beards don't grow in well everywhere, so it looks better than a scraggly mess at the cheeks.
It's also just a style, so it doesn't have to make sense.
It's significantly easier to do with a straight razor. The chin and moustache area would take way more time and effort to do properly, and are way easier to mess up and cut yourself on. So it's lazy, just ancient lazy.
Yep ita so u can wear a gas mask and keep ur beard. Cos u need skin to form a proper seal. U see it on gas ships. And i guess the style caught on.
Cooler cheeks.
It looks good on some faces so it became popular enough for some people to have it even if it doesn't look good on their face. That explains every single weird looking beard style ever.
