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.

Assuming you don’t bring any food, the usual survival times: 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. So a minimum 3 days… on the other hand, the time to turn into a skeleton would be much, much longer.
Edit: Since I wanted to do some math, it looks like skydiving is about 120mph in free fall and then 20mph with the parachute open. Let’s say you got scared/bored of free falling after an hour and open your chute, that would be 71 hours before dying. So you would have traveled 1,540 miles (assuming earth gravity, wind resistance, etc). Someone who hasn’t pulled their cord would catch up to you after 12 hours, so very much within the “alive” window.
