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.

I was an anorexic teen and young 20something and though I am long recovered and take good care of my body now, I do not think I see what others do. We have one mirror in the house, though, that is so flattering. I will sometimes stand in front of it, naked, and ask my husband if I really look like that - I thought it was stretching me vertically; but he says yeah, that is exactly what you look like.

So my money is on lighting.

Also there used to be a saying (before filters) "the camera adds ten pounds". People look better moving around than frozen in time, even models, it's a thousand pictures and picking the best one.
