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.

It's a look of concern but im pretty sure mouse would survive. Smaller animals have a lower terminal velocity (max falling speed) and therefore don't hit the ground as fast. Anything smaller than a squirrel has a good chance of surviving a fall from any height
The squirells are fine because their bushy tail gives enough drag to lower their terminal velocity. Mice don't have that privilege and have a higher terminal velocity.
Maybe the hair on the tails of mice grow super fast when they fall from great heights?
Well, there's only one way to find out.
Off to the lab we go then.
