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.

when asked to imagine a circle, I just imagine the concept of a circle. It has no color, no texture, no substance.

I mean, I don't have aphantasia, and if you ask me to imagine a circle, with no other details, I won't get most of that either right away. If anything I guess I'd tend to "see" it as a black thin outline, i guess because that's how it appears commonly in math problem figures. But I certainly wouldn't make up a texture or material for it if it wasn't mentioned.

Now if you're talking about a green and red tartan circle that smells like rotten cheese, yeah sure, I can summon that.

Yeah, a circle by itself isn't an object that actually exists in real space, but a geometric concept, so I don't imagine more than black lines if not given any other information. Same with a square, triangle, etc.
