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.

What about their age? Are they forever the age they died? Well, then wouldn't you like to die earlier, rather than be 80 forever? Cause that's bound to suck. Maybe we can assume all pains would be gone, but you'd still prefer to be young and handsome again wouldn't you?
If you go to heaven, you'd probably want your grandmother to be the kindly old lady you remember. Her own grandmother might want her to be the little kid she remembered bouncing on her knee. She, herself, might want to be the 20 year old who was full of energy and beautiful. Is 20-year-old you going to curl up on 20-year-old grandma's lap while she reads you a story?
The only way to really solve that is that heaven is basically being extremely high, so your "brain" is sending out happy chemicals and you don't care at all about anything else.
But, "I can't wait to get to heaven so I can be high as balls 24/7" doesn't sound as wholesome as "I can't wait to get to heaven so I can see grandma again".
They've got forever, mix it up! I'd be a little kid every once in a while if it made my grandmother happier. And knowing that she's partying in San Junipero the rest of the time wouldn't bother me.
