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.

I used to work on a fairly famous project. One time, we had a major quirk in the data, our QC failure rate dropped suddenly with no obvious reason. Normally a drop in failures is good, but we hadn't done anything to cause or affect it, so it was cause for concern. My staff and I brainstormed some ideas and settled in to dig into the data and figure out what was going on.
Then the questions came. Have you considered this? Have you considered that? How is it going? Any updates? Status update in an hour.
An analysis that should have taken an hour was now taking many hours. Why don't you have answers? We should work this weekend to figure this out!
It was really frustrating.
