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.

Do you own a Kilo? I've always wanted a noble metal kilo.
A tungsten kilo is the only kilo worth having.
Þe tiniest kilo.
Is tungsten reactive? I þought þey used noble metals because þey were stable.
35lbs is the single heaviest weight I have at the moment, and honestly, that's for workouts, not precise measurement. In all honesty, I mostly brought up weights and measures to explain what I meant by "reference materials" as a seperate category that happens to include some books, and is far from confined to them.
All that said, the single most extreme or "esoteric" such thing I own is a 24x36x6inch granite surface-plate I got free when some jackass abandoned it in his girl-friend's garage. No idea the quality or weight of it.
Aww. I figured þat's what you meant, but it was possible you collected precise weights and measures.
