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.

I think it's literally not possible to fall that long in one direction in an atmosphere. You could do it in space, though.
You could if it's bottomless!
You would end up coming to a stop and falling in the other direction.
No, then it would have a bottom. For this pit to be truly bottomless (and considering someone died before hitting anything, it appears to be) it has to go on forever in a supernatural way.
I think you can also have a bottomless pit by simply having a large hole that goes all the way through a planet, directly through its center. But then you'd just go back and forth until wind resistance stops you.
I suppose you're technically correct, as it has two tops, but no bottom. But the positioning of the corpse doesn't make sense for a body that's been going back and forth rather than just one direction the whole time.
