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.

If they're carbon fibre shells with LEDs in them, they could probably be that size. Fragile as heck, yes, but then drones tend to be fragile anyway. There might even be enough strength and space left over to carry something lethal.
I wonder how far away we are from the drones in HL2 that are essentially kamikaze food processors?
Those were the scariest enemy for me because I could imagine them existing in my lifetime.
There's bound to be at least one metal alloy that is light enough and strong enough to replace the plastic props on most drones. And RC helicopters. The only reason they're not metal already is that plastic is cheaper.
