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.

Diamonds are cool. Not as engagement rings, but as ultra-dense carbon.
They're arguably the hardest known substance in the universe. The only things that might be harder are so rare that their hardness can only be tested in simulations. That makes diamond unequaled for cutting. They also have amazing thermal conductivity. All that from a transparent rock is awesome.
Carbon in general is dope. Nanotubes? Graphene? And it's not even hard to come by? Gtfo.
Yeah but Genghis Khan was also made of carbon and he wasn't cool.
Don't forget the perfect octahedral cleavage and unique lustre!
To each their own, I don't really care how they look (other than being transparent), I just think it's cool that something that looks like glass is stronger than steel.
