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 don’t even understand what she’s doing. Biting herself as a distraction? Scratching her palm with her teeth? I don’t know anyone who does this.
Sometimes scratching just isn't cutting it, and the human brain is...well it's something and it tells me bite the itch cause teeth are stronger and you try and it doesn't help.
The nails... They tickle.... The itch is deeper, towards the bone... USE YOUR TEETH.
Oh, but it does. It helps soooo much. Something about the pinpoint pressure in just the right spot just hits so good… But you can’t just keep biting it forever, and generally the itch comes back again soon after.
Well based on votes I’m in the minority. Never heard of this. Whatever works!
Oh, I thought maybe she was picking at some skin and then chewing it off.
It's so itchy you bite it to make that spot painful just for a bit to override the itchiness.
Understanding isn't necessary. The call to bite is there and it somehow works, so you don't question it. I don't grind me teeth to mimic scratching - just bite.
