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.

Just the idea of these dramatic transformations are super interesting imo. Imagine if humans shat out a sleeping bag, crawled into it, basically did pregnancy over again, and came out with new limbs that suddenly gave us a new mode of transport.
That would be sick. I guess puberty is sorta like this but idk, it doesn't feel as dramatic
I really wonder what happened in your puberty to be “sorta like this”

What's really screwy is memories survive that process. You can do Pavlov's dog type training on a caterpillar. The resultant butterfly will still react to the trigger.
The brain goes through a liquid phase, but still manages to maintain its wiring!
The chrysalis process is amazing.
What, you didn't crawl into your puberty sac and grow your sex organs?
That sounds like middle school
Yeah. Puberty. What was yours like?
'Sorta like this' meaning: we undergo some physical changes (height, body hair, hormones, etc) but nowhere near as dramatic as eating yourself and reassembling
Nature/chem/physics is fuckin' cool
How much caterpillar soup is needed to be lost to kill it
oh hello there Dr. Mengele
The crazy thing is they completely liquify in the pupa and reconstitute from the goo.
THEY WHAT
@_@
Tiddies though.
Oh my god how did I forget about titties and balls droppin'!
Hmm... Man seemingly dies, goes into a small space with hard walls, comes back a little while later with the ability to fly... Is Jesus mothman?
Yes, that’s never been in doubt.
It worked... or it will work? for Jeffrey Sinclair and Delenn. Just don't think too hard about which one of them did it / has done it / will do it first.
And the closest thing to a moth wasn't either of those.
So, more like wining a lottery?
not exactly what I meant
