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.

Technically any object of sufficient size would colapse under its own immense gravity and form a black hole
And technically once it has collapsed it isn't very big anymore!
The universe is not one gigantic solid object
I mean I'm mostly liquid and I bet so is the dog
Prove it
Isn't the universe a sufficiently large size? Why is it expanding then? What constitutes an "object"?
Most of the universe is empty space, and that's what's expanding. Empty space doesn't have any gravitational pull
Solid objects are 99.999999% empty space, too.
Yes, but nuclear forces are strong enough to keep the space within from expanding and hold the objects together. It's in the vast swathes of emptiness between galaxies that we typically see the exansion of space because gravity is too weak there to keep things together.
