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.

Two weeks later he died of appendicitis.
I’d rather have that over sitting in traffic driving to a soul devouring corporate job due to RTO
As if you would have a sound sleep and full belly every day stuck on an island for your very short existence.
The universe gives me what I need regardless of where I am.
May I remind you all of Mr. Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov, who was known for a successful

That's Dr. Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov, but to be fair he did get his MD 5 years after that antarctic expedition.
wow, he operated on himself BEFORE he became a doctor?
Bro just said "wait, that was kind of easy?"
Right, meanwhile I wouldn't know the first thing to do, I don't even know where the appendix is, and dig into myself with a scalpel? What could go wrong? So many things could go wrong. I have no idea what I'm doing down there.
He was a Dr. indeed! And what a doctor.
Jesus Christ that guy got balls of steel... And no appendix anymore.
I think this would have gone quite differently in the Tropics, since I expect Antarctica to have quite a few less bacteria that could have infected the wound. Still hardcore, though.
Sure but considering help hadn't arrived in 2 years, I don't think another 2 weeks with a working beacon would've changed anything.
Dang, that's crazy. Wait, no, that could definitely happen today in the US. Even if cost is not an issue, I could see many people waiting it out or delaying action (until it ruptures) for various reasons especially if they have no idea what the pain could be.
