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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Unfortunately for nature but depending on your perspective it's unfortunate for humans as well
I suppose from the perspective of misanthropes it's unfortunate, but I discount the opinions of misanthropes.
How is it unfortunate for nature? We're part of nature. In the long term humanity is nature's best mechanism for enduring long term, since eventually Earth is going to become uninhabitable due to the Sun's aging process.
This is the whole crux of the comic that I see so many people, even in this thread, misunderstanding. Nature isn't some "out there" thing, or even something we "emerged" from. There is no emerging! This is it. Me on my phone eating a second veggie dog while scrolling on my phone is part of nature. You reading it - also nature.
Yes, well that's tautological, isn't it? Nature is everything, so everything is nature. What's the point of having the word if it doesn't carry any meaning?
Got to call the world as we see it by some name
We already have plenty. The universe. Reality. Existence. Creation. The world, as you said. What does the word nature bring to the table?
One more word for the poets. Also, it can mean like just trees and green things, and shit, just like the universe can mean galaxies and black holes, and shit. But also mean everything everywhere including us.
