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.

I've gone 41 years now without once considering what a dragons diet consists of. Then you come in here like "HEY GUYS!!! SCIENCE!!! Also what do dragons eat?"
And now I'll forever be pissed off that it becomes an answer with no wrong answer, and no right answer. Only unproven theories with varying levels of absurdity. You say he eats coal. Maybe I say they eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Your answer makes sense. My answer isn't wrong, and thus still valid.
And with that comes an open invitation to come up with the dumbest answer possible, knowing it can never be wrong. No matter how wrong it is.
A whole-ass cow. I think most of their power is just magic and good insulation.
We need a 100% science based dragon video game to help us figure this out
Sounds to me like you lost your mind about this.
NGL, I'm low-key goading the science dweebs among us to find the most efficient/plausible scientific explanation for all this fantasy nonsense. We have to find the dragon diet that would support the version of dragons that routinely exhales superheated air (as opposed to having an extra chamber of chemicals they ignite on demand), while still maintaining other dragon tropes.
I was going to mention Reign of Fire until I saw your parenthetical insert.
Guess I'll go back to my physics-based MMO.
