- 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.

there's a heinlein novel where the main character travels through time, has a sex change, travels back through time, marries themself, then the older version of the character gives birth to the original incarnation of the character.
I'm not sure whether this was heinlein decrying a potential future or fantasizing, to be honest
Isn't this the plot of the predestination movie?
Spoilers
With Heinlein, fantasizing.
The man who folded himself is a time travel story, too. Every time the guy travels to the same time, there's another one of him there, with bigger or smaller age differences. It gets pretty twisted in parts when he's living with his other selves.
