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.

and stretching. Gotta' stretch, especially if you're like me and aren't naturally very flexible. I've probably avoided dozens of injuries just by knowing my limits well and making sure they don't show up pitifully fast.

I wouldn't say there aren't people who are naturally more flexible than average but all the people who are VERY flexible worked for it. The processes that improve your ligaments and muscles in that way require repetition and dedication like any other self improvement.

Ehhhh, you're kinda' discounting how broad "average" is. Some people cannot even get close to touching their toes without daily stretching (like me) whereas some people can grab their feet and they do nothing extra.

For people like me, daily stretching quite literally directly prevents injury both from exercise and when normal movement goes awry like when tripping.

Still waiting for the day I twist my ankle for the first time. I'm still way too flexible for it to hurt at all when I step off the pavement weirdly.
