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.

from where in frictionless space did the port astronaut get the momentum to move forward for the kick? how did this person then return to their original position (their airhose has folded back over in panel 3)
and why hasn't the starboard astronaut floated out through stage left with the momentum of that kick?
I think he just had the space to move around in.
I was waiting for this useless observation. The comic isn't reality, its a comic.
but the comic would have been so much funnier if they had followed these simple principles of inertia!
there could have been a whole row of panels showing the kicker inching towards the kickee. and the silent scream is so much better personified with the kickee floating away out od the panels.
it's like the reek-reek-reek loading of the next camera exposure in shaun of the dead when the protagonists encounter their first zombie. it's a minor detail but it adds so much more to the scene. it's that pinch of spice that completely transforms the dish.
but, hey, i guess a lot of people do prefer the blander foods. so let's just chalk this up to creative differences.
I thought it was an instruction manual in case I ever go to space with my pal.
