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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Silliness aside, phantom pregnancies are a thing, but you generally don't get a placenta without something else besides. If there didn't seem to be anything, it was probably so non-viable that it dissolved or was reabsorbed, kicking off the rejection process.
Most don't even get to that stage though. Super early miscarriages are said to happen incredibly often and the carrier doesn't necessarily even know that they'd conceived in the first place. A big hint is a delayed, heavy period, but most people who get periods won't bat an eye at things like that happening. That'll happen for a number of - occasionally hard to explain - reasons even without being sexually active.
