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.

it do be like this sometimes
it's also stressful and funny when somebody is trying to tell you their computer problems and it seems like it's really bad. then you go and look around and you can't find anything wrong. and their all
hey you fixed it!
Me every time I call tech support. I feel so stupid.
As someone who formerly worked phone support, let me assure you we love the dumb, easy ones. Everyone wants an easy win and bonus when it kicks you to the back of the call queue.
unless it’s so dumb it’s not obvious
i learned no question is too stupid
and yes it must be plugged in to work
My favorite question to ask callers when I worked phone support: "What happens when you push the power button"
I got so many "wait, theres a power button?!" replies. And a few <click, whurrrr> "Uhh, i'll call you back if i have anything else".
"Oh, I've lost power due to a storm, is that important?"
