    I try to be the guy giving the compliments. Like, “Hey I like the jacket,” or, “Hey I like the hat,” stuff like that. I’ll say it strangers and they always seem surprised and put on a seemingly genuine smile.

    Us guys need to look out for each other, ya know? Some guys will never hear a compliment, and just hearing one can make someone’s day.

      Hey, nice attitude! I can relate to that, and it’s why I made this comic doodle. There’s nothing like creating a good ripple in someone’s life (and I don’t think it’s insincere to share what naturally crossed my mind anyway).

      Keep doing what you’re doing!

      Good on you, I’m trying to be that person more and more because I know it makes my week whenever I get a compliment.

      Make sure you don’t run into people of the culture, who - once you express that you like something - they have to gift it to you.
