Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

Tbf I think this is an american thing. I have never asked someone for their hight, nor ever seen anyone ask this. American women are obsessed with men hight.
It's not just the US, unreasonable focus on height is a thing in a number of countries, even non-western ones.
Though, where I live, it would be weird to ask this on a date.
As a tall person, who has been married to the same noticeably shorter woman for 36 years, height has never been questioned between us. I can't remember any woman I had ever dated, going back to high school, ever asking me my height. 'Twas pretty obvious I'm a whole lot taller than they were.
Although, now that I think about it, When I was a teenager I did originally want to marry a woman who was like 6' or taller. Just my luck, the woman I've been married to for 36 years is only 5' 3" tall.
It wouldn't be noticed by you, it's noticed by the shorter folks. I'm tall enough to "pass" for tall, but no one says "you're tall" to me. My short friends have all had to deal with this phenomenon.
