- 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).

The last time I was in a Spirit Halloween store, the cashier told me they liked my hoodie.
I want to emphasize that I still occasionally think about this thing that happened in October.
It's amazing how well a small, well meaning compliment can make your day, your week...
I was playing hockey last month and one player on the other team complimented something I did on the ice. Simple thing. "Nice puck protection!" after I made a play. Fuck, I'm so used to being chirped out there that it caught me completely off guard. I told my gf that night "The karma version of my brain is like: I should compliment players on the other team more. They probably feel great when that happens too ๐"
Hell, I remember when one of my classmates in gym class complimented my basketball shot, and that was back in the '90s. (If you're out there, Leon, thanks.)
That's a sales tactic! Careful, that is how those greedy capitalist get you lol
I really don't think so. This cashier looked bored af and I'm pretty sure Spirit Halloween knows their shit sells itself. Besides, they were complimenting me on my decidedly anti-capitalist "pride brick" hoodie, which is a brick with a rainbow on top.
