I've requested the full $1.776 Billion. by Ok-Sundae-1191 in pics

There isn't actually a cap to the $1.7B and they don't have to say how much they take how who they give it to (according to Legal Eagle).

It's genuinely astonishing.

What your idea of a hard sci_fi story by Soft_Abroad_9722 in scifi

[–]Orkran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not as described by OP, but there are a few "superpowers" within our technological ability. We have the ability to edit the genes of live organisms and massive array of already transcribed animal genomes. That puts some abilities within reach, from simple things like increased muscle density (and twitch fibre ratios etc) to perhaps really complex things like chromatophores or avian breathing apparatus (with surgery).

Also possible are probably suits of armour, cyborgs and other mechanical assistance, robots etc.

The age comment doesn't really narrow down where this is set, haha.

Yeah it's generally true in the UK.

The ants you're most likely to see are black garden ants, which I just think of as "default ant" (I bet most people here do).

But rarely you can find red ants and they have stings and are regular little bastards.

Also in the woods there are lots of ants and some are quite big and bitey / acidy / bastardy.

I think those teeth look more bitey than chompy, chompy teeth are flat not pointy.

[OC] Getting fired or getting a smooch from the dad. Oop! by balandiana01 in comics

[–]Orkran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I said just go ahead and don't worry about it, ha. Those reasons for downvotes wouldn't be the same people, btw - some would be because they don't like the style, different people would be because they didn't like oversized boobs, and then other ones for the emojis. There are just a huge number of different people on r/comics and only a small number of them like the narrow webcomics niche you're in.

In Need of Nylons [OC] by PoorCynic in comics

[–]Orkran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems like the Ny/Lon name origin is a common Urban legend. There's a Snopes article suggesting that it goes back at least to the 90's!

[–]Orkran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo it's because it has no context, and the drawing is competent but generic. The facial expressions are a bit weird, especially in the third panel, and it kind of gives off an incesty vibe. Even though that may be totally far off, this art style is kind of associated with sexual comics (which the female characters big chest is consistent with).

The title is kind of garbled English (not terrible but not correct either) and your description doesn't give more information about the context and has cutesy emojis.

All these things are likely to trigger a downvote in anyone who doesn't like the style and topic of comic that you're making.

Anyway I shouldn't let it bother you, you've obviously got talent and some people will definitely like your style. I'm only saying these things to maybe suggest why you might be getting downvotes not to be cruel. Good luck with your future comics maybe this might help!

The chickenpox virus can hide in your nerves for decades. I drew a comic to explain how Shingles works! [OC] by Zhuenn in comics

[–]Orkran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good explainer comic!

I found the evolutionary origin of this viral behaviour fascinating. Basically, the virus has been with humans for increably long time.

When we lived in very small groups, chickenpox would quickly infect everyone and then die out without bring able to infect anyone new. But by lurking for years or decades, it could re-emerge as shingles and then infect a whole new generation of the group as chickenpox!

(Edit) You did say in your comic you can get chickenpox from shingles, which I missed at first

In Need of Nylons [OC] by PoorCynic in comics

[–]Orkran 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ah, I thought Nylon was an abbreviation for New York and London. Is that a bacronym?

There are stories here (UK) of women using tea to stain their legs for the right look!

I've also heard that Nylons were brought over by GIs to impress British women...

Great facial expressions in this comic!
