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.

Done.
Infinity ain't a number though, it's a concept
What about infinity +1
That's a slightly bigger concept.
Well done you just invented ordinals
The awful handegg team from Arizona or the pretty good stickball outfit from St Louis?
Nah, you're confusing them with the highest ranking navy position
All numbers are concepts.
Yes, but not all concepts are numbers
Exactly! The disqualifier for infinity isn't the fact that it's a concept, it's because it doesn't behave like a number.
Ah okay: Infinity is a concept, but is NOT a measurable quantity or unit and thus is not a number
Well said. Another example is (infinity)+1=(infinity)
If you subtract infinity from both sides you're left with 1=0. Which is impossible. Similar things happen with multiplication and division.
All numbers are concepts
But some numbers are more conceptual
And infinity still isn't a number
When did I say that?

Not seeing it. Maybe you could quote me saying that?
Right there, above the red line.
