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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Beard gives me a chin, which is otherwise weak. (This is apparently a common problem in modern humans. Too much utensil use and not enough flesh tearing begets a reduced jaw.)
Even so, I take it off occasionally because, even when washed well, it will begin to literally irritate me.
It's my own hair. It's not supposed to do that. And yet...
aaand now I'm itchy.
Define "washed well". Most men I have encountered complaining about irritated or itchy under their beard don't use oil or moisturizer.
I don't think conditioner and oil is part of washing. Besides, I have never used oil on my head-, chest-, arm-, whatever-hair, and still the beard is the only one that randomly goes itchy sometimes.
That's because afaik beard hair is structurally different from "regular" hair.
And depending on your skin and "head"-hair type your scalp can become itchy too. Which is why some people prefer to use oil instead of soap for their scalp.
