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.

Definitely a tribal rite of passage in need of updating to remain relevant. I do take umbrage with the chanting at a magical fairy. That’s far more a chrisitian thing. But what are the horrendous implications?
Shit I meant my other comment as a reply to the commenter one up the chain, not to you. Sorry for my error
The content made it seem that way. No worries.
My guy it's just a ritual to signify the progression of age and a child becoming old enough to take on more responsibility and exert more autonomy of their choices.
You're way overthinking and projecting way too much on this.
Yes, religion sucks and is unnecessary, but this particular ritual is little more than an acknowledgement of growing older. It's basically "Jewish sweet 16."
