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 emailed him and asked him about that once. He says that he intentionally draws characters that can't be identified, because he wants his cartoons to be inclusive. I guess they could be either male or female if you accept that his characters just have no hair.
You’re making an illogical jump. I’m not saying that to be mean, I mean literally the logic does not work backwards that way.
It is inclusive to allow the reader their own perspective and leave it up to personal interpretation. That does not equal the logic of “drawing genders means it is not inclusive.”
It’s a false equivalency that nobody brought up until you decided to stir up some emotions by applying broken logic :)
Just to add to this, the name for this logical error is "affirming the consequent".
