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.

So now the pizza is never eaten :(
Edit: Now that I think about it, won't it get colder over time? Omg I'm not going to continue I'm falling down a hole that way
A better question: what if a bite is taken out of it in panel 3? How many bites will have been taken out of it in panel 2?
If the pizza was taken a bite in panel 3, then it's also bitten in panel 4, then it's also bitten already in panel 2 because it's taken from panel 4, then it can't be bitten in panel 3. It contradicts with itself. The pizza cannot be bitten.
And now we know that the pizza can't be altered in any way. It can be large, hot, freezing, or small.
One, and only one scenario of these defies physics the least, and you know which one it is.
It's like how Kirk's glasses are just going to get older and more worn-out with every loop.
I would argue since it's in this loop, it can't really change its temperature. Otherwise the loop wouldn't close. And since also it adjusts to room temperature, it has be room temperature ~~from the beginning~~ all the time to avoid temporal paradoxes. According to the same logic, it doesn't crumble.
In panel 2, the dude has a pizza in his/her hand, and he/she has time to say "Now I have a free snack!" You don't think the temperature of the pizza would drop by even 0.1 degrees in that time?
If this object is permanently warmer than its surroundings, surely it can be used as a means to generate energy.
No, my whole point is that since it can't cool down without temporal paradox, it has to already have room temperature and be already cold
There's no way to avoid a temporal paradox. Will the dude in panel 3 be able to smell the pizza? If so, there are microscopic particles from the pizza being emitted into the air. That means that by the time the pizza reaches panel 4, it won't be the same pizza that was brought into panel 2.
I guess that puts my crumble argument to the next logical step
Yeah, even if it's a pizza enclosed in diamond so nothing can escape, surely they're putting fingerprints on it by handling it, so it will change from cycle to cycle.
Where the fuck do you live that you have crumbly pizza?
Maybe crumble is too strong a word but nothing would ever fall down which can happen with a crunchy crust
Since it's stuck in a loop, maybe its conditions are somehow being reset to fresh and hot as it's pulled over the panel edge. Or else, that thing is ice cold, rock hard, and completely inhospitable to microbial life, since from its perspective, it's probably been looping for a long, long time.
From the naive perspective it's looping infinitely and it ought to be infinitely old because there's no "first loop". Depending on the laws of physics, proton decay could make the pizza slice literally impossible.
Given that it clearly exists and has no rot let alone deep-time decay, I posit that it spontaneously appears/renews in panel three, away from the boundary break, as some kind of near-infinitely improbable entropy break.
He thinks he's discovered panel time travel, but it's far weirder than he thinks.
