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.

For a while in therapy we tried personifying my self hate and giving those thoughts an actual name. In my case that name was Maurice and I do not remember why. That was every time a negative thought happened I could be like "No Maurice, you're an idiot. I won't listen to you."
Unfortunately it turns out Maurice can cite sources.
This is actually pretty genius, are there any downsides?
I haven’t given mine a name… the strangest part is it used to help out.
I don't know if I would say downsides but for me it just didn't work at all. I imagine it works well for loads of people but all it did for me was make me look for more scientific reasons to hate myself. Hence saying that Maurice could cite sources.
Instead of "your art is bad" I would be thinking of every little detail I was doing wrong individually as well as convincing myself that I will never be able to shake those issues. Other stuff did end up helping but that specifically wasn't for me.
Sorry to hear, but an interesting thought experiment. At my age, there’s no reason not to give it a shot. I’ll name him, Gwen. 😂👍
I'm gonna give it a burl, I need to fight it somehow.
Silencieo Bruno!
We don't talk about Bruno.
I knew that movie was a complete fantasy the moment that Abuela admitted she was wrong.
Magic powers are fine and good but you lost me at an Abuela admitting she was wrong
You get it.
You're going too far Maurice!
(It's from a famous French ad where a kid accuses his goldfish Maurice of eating the chocolate mousse to hide his own mischief. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ASc40_mpZjU)
Just do the typical comment fight move and call out Maurice on how funny he must be at a party
I believe your Maurice has my Derek on speed dial
