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.

follows Velma who is an amazing girl-boss who solves all the mysteries

Velma as a character was a lot of things, but she was mostly an insufferable, pathologically egotistical narcissist with hallucinatory delusions and severe mommy issues. Like, the show was horribly written, don't get me wrong, but let's not act like she was a Mary Sue.

I agree with your assessment, I maybe should have included an '/s' after amazing girl boss. That's the image she has of herself, that's how she carries herself. Like an insufferable, pathologically egotistical narcissist with hallucinatory delusions and severe mommy issues would do. 🙂

I'll go ahead & add the /s, why not?

I didn't pick up on the sarcasm in your description. And I'm usually pretty good at that. Not sure if that's a flaw in my reading comprehension or if your intent just didn't carry in that sentence. Maybe a bit of both.

My intent didn't carry & I'm not known to be the best communicator. 🤙🏻

It's okay. Being a person is hard and communicating is a big part of being a person.

Adding the /s saves the pain not just for you, but for the readers of your comment that might struggle with reading tone in text.
