Thanks for everyone's kind words on my first comic strip. Here is my second.
Jump from high enough and it might as well be concrete.

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.

Can confirm, my brother broke his neck
Oh... did he, like, die?
It basically is if you jump from high enough, due to surface tension.
I don't like this. Not everything can be bubblegum and gumdrops, but this is promoting suicide and as a person that has been very close to that point, i hate this.

To be clear, this may not have been the artist's intention, but it's how it read to me.
There's an annual death diving competition in Norway. It's also spreading to other countries.
The current world record in height is 31.3 meters and is held by three competing athletes: Ken Stornes (No), Tore Våge (No), and Côme Girardot (Fr). Among the women, the record is 24.8 meters and is set by Norwegian Asbjørg Nesje
owie
They should do it from twice as high and it'll live up to it's name real fast!
Just go higher and higher until the jumper doesn't come up, and call that the next record to beat...
he closed and then he opened
._.
That's a great strip! I like the style and can remotely relate to the feeling.
I would love to see more - Keep up the good work!
Yeah I wouldn't make it a habit to practice diving into concrete from high above.
I like to pretend its water
I really like the way you spaced the text as well as the simplicity of this. It reminds me of A Softer World in a really good way.
A Softer World is brilliant. Love coming across this in the wild ♥️
I really like this OP. This is a fun coping mechanism.
I like your stuff. Your first one was very relatable. this one too in a existentialist testing the limits sort of way.
keep up the good work.
