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 many poor "design choices" in human anatomy. (Note, I know there's no intelligent design).

The optic nerve. External testicles. Lack of decent fur. The way some nerves and blood vessels are routed make zero sense. An immune system that often wants to kill you. The list goes on. I'm sure a biologist or medical person could add plenty more. Many animals have some of these traits, too. If some trait or process is just barely good enough, nature will chug along with it for millions of years. Nature is all about some redneck engineering.

External* testicles are legit really cool though, they change their distance from your body to regulate temperature

*they also can and will retract all the way inside your body if it’s cold enough

Sloths and elephants don't seem to have trouble with their internal testes.

Maybe they regulate better. Just ice your balls so they pop inside then just sloth around so you don't break a sweat and drop your balls

Using the same tube for breathing and eating is a classic (I type while choking on my tea)

Good catch, I forgot that one! And the other classic is having waste excreting plumbing and reproductive plumbing all bunched together.
