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.

... and those who know at base n, "10" can represent literally any number.
That's why you always specify the base
10~10~
10~a~
I hope they included that information on the cover of the Voyager golden record in case aliens want to understand our numbers.
That sounds eminently practical. There's NO way that would ever lead to any excess ambiguity! 😄
Base 0, base pi and base i are interesting, though.
