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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The urban legend goes you wake up in a bathtub missing a kidney. The bathtub is filled with ice, though, which is silly because the organ, not the person, goes on ice.

Sure is a memorable legend, though.

I think the idea is that it's supposed to be beneficial to the surgery itself, causes blood vessels to contract naturally and so forth.

But I'm pretty sure it just makes you much much more likely to die considering a lot of modern surgery actually has to go out of its way to raise body temps. I guess the other implication is they don't actually care about that.
