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.

Imagine if you will the absolute carnage wrought by your sugar-loving gut biome once you take that first dump on this pbj planet (assuming you don’t sink in).

How long do you think you’ve got before the whole thing spoils and you die of sepsis from living in rot? Think you could outrun it on a daily basis to stay alive?

I think it would depend on the ratio of jam to peanut butter and bread. High sugar concentrations are an excellent way of preventing bacterial growth as it acts as a desiccant which is why jam can last so long without spoiling. So, unless there's enough moisture in the peanut butter and bread, your discarded gut bacteria will die out. It turns out that too much of a good thing really can be bad for you.
