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.

I remember reading once that the human skeleton couldn't possibly support a 50-foot giant. Or even a 10-foot giant. The world's tallest people have all kinds of skeletal issues. The tallest man in recorded history, Robert Wadlow 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m), had to wear leg braces because his leg bones were so brittle. Also, he couldn't feel anything in his lower legs and feet because his nerves down there just didn't have the energy to make it to his brain.
What kind of sin could a man commit in a single lifetime to bring this upon himself?
I just don't want to grow anymore.
I don't want to grow anymore!
I haven't seen that in probably close to 30 years, but the melodrama of that scene has always stuck with me.
