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 every public hospital has it and if it's underfunded, that's usually one of the first equipments to stop working, because that maintenance money will pay for higher priority materials.
So chances are she actually didn't lie and I invested into her health? If she doesn't lie she might actually like me. And maybe even not only because I'm bankrolling that medical bill ๐
Keep a healthy amount of skepticism. Appearances are suggestive not informative.
As someone who is too trusting of people, I've found this out the hard way.
