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.

Makes me wonder if it's actually possible to make shaped balloons like that. Maybe with loops of strings embedded in the rubber, to prevent certain parts from inflating more than that diameter. if this is not already a thing, it should be a thing!
You wouldn't be able to make detailed shapes from a round balloon, like in the comic, but if the balloon was already shaped like a horse when deflated, it might be possible
I think with enough R&D into specialized balloon-manufacture techniques, it would be possible to make round balloons that inflate into a different discernable shape. But it wouldn't be as detailed or precise as in the comic.
Yup, thinner sections would stretch more, and presumably could be detailed as your manufacturing tech would allow
You could do this very easily if the balloon was made of beach ball material. Of course it might be obvious what the final shape was supposed to be when it was deflated.
