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.

I keep running into this issue where I want to e-mail the support team of a product and their options are like
FAQ, Phone number, forum, "ai" "assistant
like please god no just let me submit a ticket please please please
Then you call the phone number and its a "helpful" voice chat bot you have to tell your problem to and hope it directs you to the right directory in their convoluted phone tree
As someone who works in telecom building phone tree menus, I agree. I have never said this is needed. I'm sure there are some companies with a million departments where narrowing it down with this would be quicker, but I've never dealt with one where 5 options and maybe a few subtrees didn't get the job done. Takes under a minute to navigate. I believe the customer enjoys this more as well.
They don’t give an email option, as then it would instantly become a ticket and they have to work on it. They prefer you gettig frustrated with the bot or the phone menu, and givng up
This for me as well, but I'm on the opposite side of the world from US companies so calling is always a scheduling fiasco
