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.

I thought it was some ancient nonsense about it being the veil that all the stars were attached to. Regardless it's a pretty archaic word.
It’s, yes. Back when they thought the sky had to be solid because something was holding it up.
Early Christian’s, for example believed that the water for Noah’s flood came from the firmament melting (since that bit in genesis describing the sky as “the waters” etc.)(it was written by Bronze Age peeps. Not exactly at the height off science.)
