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.

Notice how the "friends" are completely dismissive of the hand? If they actually thought it was cause for concern, that would be an improvement.
We don't know how long this has been going on. If it's been years and years of this, I get it.
If encouraging him to see a doctor were something they were doing, the comic would have shown that.
They do seem to have been through this before.
And it's heavily implied it was brushed off before as well. No "I've tried to help you," but rather "It's not a big deal, get over it."
Well obviously the comic has that as the point, even though very similar situations have people who have tried to help but have been brushed off
Sure, but that's not this situation. First they have to actually care to get to that point.
