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

Every one of those stars is another, massive sun with the power to roast any ball of rock orbiting too close. Every single surat out there is a genuine point source of light (no discernible shape) with use of nearly any device available. By naked eye, five of them can be planets - other huge, spinning balls of material that we've probed and viewed, and yet, they are so incredibly distant that they're indistinguishable from stars unless you have s few extra pieces of knowledge. There's only two bodies we can see by eye that have any shape, being the sun (very huge) and moon (very close). That's insane. The distances are unfathomable by the human mind. We are not space faring creatures. Other planets are not escapes. This is where we live. This is our planet. It's the only one we have. And we're arguing about it being to expensive to help the needy.
