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.

MODERATORS
As a developer I hate these values and estimates, but I also agree that there is no good way to calculate the future. The honest would be "working" - but everyone asks for percentages and estimates.
You could write "estimating" for about a minute or so and then give a reasonable estimation.
I made once a download estimate infinity. Suspended the pc and over 20 hours later turned it on again. Since it calculated 20 hours no download it assumed it would take infinity to download it all
