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.

In space I doubt he was able to get enough momentum to kick through a space suit to do much. Which makes the last panel a WTF look.
The jet pack jets are not visible, but evidence suggests they're there.
Aren't these suits inflated for pressure, so there'd be an air cushion between the suit and his actual balls? It'd be like kicking an air mattress. Also, why aren't they both spinning like mad after that maneuver?
(I mean, if we're making physics jokes ... )
For the sake of argument, maybe the balls are not insulated to improve radiant cooling. Who wants sweaty balls in space?
But then, shouldn't the crotch of the suit be black to further improve emission?
You're underestimating just how brave astronauts need to be. A second reason there's less padding there: to make room.
This is the best theory.
He has a hand on Bob's shoulder for leverage.
