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.

You absolutely do not want to put a shell up to your ear. Best case scenario, there’s nothing in there and you achieve the grand accomplishment of producing a hollow buffer against outside noise. Worst case scenario, a roach lives in there, waiting to dive into the moist chasm of your ear hole where it will rip through your tympanum when you cause it some minor discomfort. Median case scenario, a spider pops out and you go “AHH!”
It sounds like you've had more than one traumatic trip to the beach. I've never really seen the point of listening to a shell to hear the sea, you're at the beach, it's right there, being noisy at you!
I'd say the worst case scenario would be if you held a disgruntled cone snail to your ear. Getting stung in the head by one of the most venomous animals on earth probably isn't the most comfortable sensation.
I tried searching for 'disgruntled gone snail' and got nothing. I don't think that's a real thing.
