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.

Why wouldn't they be vector images?

Cause then the joke would only work on the artist's computer

Because they need to be interacted with and in the most extreme cases you can't track state changes for mathematically real curves without infinite precision.

So even if you start out with something that can be described using a continuous/wave like function, at the point of interaction it would need to be quantized to a discrete unit so you could track how free agents independent of the determining function might alter it.

Of course, if you want to be memory efficient, you'd also throw away that conversion to discrete units if the information about the interaction was erased, as you no longer still need the conversion to track state changes.
