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.

"inhospitably cold" doesn't work for the joke, because it is not common between black holes or January. For one, January isn't cold for everyone on Earth. It's in the middle of summer for the entire Southern hemisphere, for example. And two, black holes, specifically the accretion disk surrounding them, are extremely hot due friction and relativistic speeds.
Black holes are freezing cold on the inside, but incredibly hot just outside.
The internal temperature of a black hole with the mass of our Sun is around
one-millionth of a degree above absolute zero.
This is a comic. It is not a peer-reviewed science article. The joke works - you're just over-analyzing it and doing a common "well, actually" to try to tear it down and show everyone that you have some nugget of knowledge. There's nothing wrong with the joke - it's a webcomic, it doesn't have to be 100% factually true in every known universal case...if comics/humor had to do that then they wouldn't be funny.
Party pooper... 😟
