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.

Sometimes calls work out in your favor. I've been sending emails and messages to a guy for a few days with no response over his new device and remote desktop issues. When I finally reached out, he was having work done at his house and had to keep stepping away to talk to the construction workers. Got to stretch a 30 minute fix into half a day of billable hours.
I would much rather him just follow the instructions on the email, but it's an early Friday for me.
Edit: got to finish up some project work while on hold and now my day is free after hitting my magical ticket hours for the day. Fuck this job lol
I have this meme on my phone.. my wife is the texter .. I'm like call and make that appointment.. and she immediately starts looking for a web portal to schedule it.
Lol
I send it to her randomly when she's needing to call someone.
Especially frustrating when it's urgent. Yes it might "bother" the person but if you need an answer now or you need a quick back and forth to clarify, calling is so much more efficient.
