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.

Mm, I'd dispute that we developed technology only as a result of war. Humans are naturally curious. We would develop technology no matter what

But it is true that the trajectory would be different, and there's be differences in investment levels as well, but that's more of a symptom of what our societies value

Not because, but it does help things progress faster. In many cases several different firms or even individual inventors worked on the same problem and came up with several different solutions. They were able to do this because of governmental contracts asking for that solution and tended to get materials, ammunition etc.

Not only firearms or related stuff either. The groups who worked on things like breaking the enigma or the Manhattan project were large with many small but important breakthroughs from many different people.

The thing they all have in common is that they worked under immense pressure due to the war effort.
