A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

In my experience, it's less PIP and more "let's schedule daily check-in meetings and please send us hourly updates in Slack."
The trick is to be overly communicative before it gets to that point and push back on things when you can. People are generally understanding, but watching time pass without having any clue what progress is being made is scary. Especially when there are important deadlines and you have no control over or insight into the project status. Quell those fears without impacting your productivity too much and everyone will be much happier.
No, tell them to piss off and be happy with weekly updates. Anything more than that is a waste of time
We used to be professionals who exercised professional judgment and pushed back against this unreasonable stuff. Just like doctors used to.
