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.

MODERATORS
The Pro had a funnier take on the same basic idea:
Both comic artists have some misapprehension about how solidly a plane's wings are attached.... maybe they're Boeings.
Another thing is that if you get past the initial ka-pow! moment, the real issue would be how super are those swimmers? They might work like heat seeking missiles.
Been a while since I read it, but Larry Niven had a whole essay on this subject:

Hancock (2008) had a similar bit, with the titular character blowing a few holes in his roof during a one-night-stand.
I've read for years about this scene being written, but not included. Imagine my surprise when I found out that it was not only filmed, but made easily available online!
I swear I read a thought experiment on this topic decades ago in a Penthouse or Playboy.
Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex
lol, that was hilarious
Trashy version
People who have aex are trash and should burn in hell
