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.

Way less certain, but more on the lines of the comic:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle
Sometimes I think that I could easily comprehend any idea, as long as I carefully read about it.
...then I see stuff like this and realize there are ideas so far beyond my current understanding that I feel like I'd need a PhD to wrap my head around them.
Not really. The more correct terminology in the comic should have been 'voxels' (volumetric pixels). But it's definitely talking about matter quantization.
The holographic principle (a) is far from being strongly indicated for non-black hole circumstances, and (b) only relates to how 4 dimensional coordinates might map to two dimensional foundations.
It has more to do with spacetime than matter.
I thought the joke was that he needed better glasses
I thought the joke was that he's a character in a comic strip on our screens and is therefore literally composed of pixels
I thought the joke was that we are also characters in a comic strip one more simulation removed, and therefore we are also all composed of pixels
