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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm not a parent, but maybe the lesson should have been "judging people's bodies right to their faces is fucking rude?"
If you perceived the children's words as judgment maybe you could've benefited from this form of reinforcement as a child. Kids can also grown into maintaining an internal dialogue, and not trumpeting their opinions out into the world. But the mom wanted first and foremost to show body positivity. Instructing them to "not share that with everyone you meet" might have been the hypothetical next panel.
It's a 4-panel comic, not their whole parenting strategy.
Yeah, but they're also children. Rudeness takes second seat to curiosity, kindness, and learning.
