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.

Do you also avoid handshakes?
With my eye? Definitely.
Pretty sure you can't hold atoms that close, there's a repelling force. Something to so with the four fundamentals... Er... Strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electomagnetic and gravity.
Then you understand the gravity of the situation.
There also aren’t little bars connecting atoms, and atoms don’t have faces. But here we are.
But maybe what if they do have little faces and they are just shy and won’t look at the camera?
Something about quantum physics and change the outcome by looking at it? There now it's science
Sir, this is a comic strip
You are cool with the mushroom having hands though?
You can definitely hold atoms that close together, but it tends to have bad results.
I'm doing it right now and it's fine.
Dude, share your cold fusion reactor and save the planet!
It's a magic mushroom.
Hehe yeah, the atoms of the separate fingers are closer than the atoms making up each finger, while I like the concept they were going for, they have accidentally made the fingers literally 'closer than' touching.
That's just fine, man

Feynman

gets into whole "there is no touching" near the end. Right up there with Sagan's "Atoms are mainly empty space. Matter is composed chiefly of nothing." existentialism.
By your own admission, you will NEVER technically "lose it"
The only things holding me back,
are the Pauli Exclusion Principle
and Coulomb's Law!
why does it have finger nails... or fingers...
oh my gosh radomguy you can't ask people why they got fingers
I'll bet they have a pancreas and a poophole as well!
i wouldn't go that far
Technically, if those atoms touch that would be fusion and I doubt you could hold a sun in your hand.
No, because what is being shown here is simply the electron cloud of each atom. Two atoms with overlapping electron clouds are bonded. In order to cause fusion their nuclei must combine.
This guy fusions
