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.

Not all bats, a few species of bats, and it's technically menstration but different from "overt menstration" found in humans and primates.
Most mammals have an estrous cycle where the uterine lining is reabsorbed if pregnancy doesn't occur. If the uterine lining is destroyed instead, its menstration. Here's a paper that has an overview of the other mammals that have menstrual cycles and how they work.
This here is why I come to Comic Strips.
what a weird kink, but hey, YKINMK
YKINMK? Lemmy guess:
I assume it's "Your kink is not my kink"
Nah, at least one of the Ks has to have something to do with kitchens, Kevins or kneeling. Those are the rules that I just made up for no apparent reason.
Ya Know, I Need My Kink.
Well here I thought I wasn't going to learn anything today and BAM I was wrong again
I like the idea of you just sitting on your couch, suddenly looking around and slapping your knees to stand, just saying "WELP THAT DOES IT. I AIN'T LEARNING SHIT TODAY."
Pretty sure that's standard practice right before turning on Faux News.
Some people argue that bats are primates, but I don't know enough about taxonomy to say. I do know that there was a defining feature for primates that had to get deleted from the primate definition because we found it in bats.

TL:DR : flying foxes' (those really large bats) brains are connected to their eyes in a similar way to primates, but different from all other mammals (including smaller bats). Though apparently this theory doesnt hold up when comparing the DNA from flying foxes with small bats and primates respectively.
Well there you go. I ain't no bat's cousin.
