- 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.

I unironically loved the pandemic for being able to progress some of my hobbies
Being able to throw myself into making music for hours without a drained social/mental battery and basically nothing to interrupt me helped me do more in a year or so than I'd managed to find time for in a decade. I also got back into enjoying long-form games that I've not been able to make time for outside of the pandemic. The few I've started since I've had to put down for extended periods of time and that's kinda killed my momentum. I also read the most I'd read since I was a kid.
So I know I could definitely be given an extra couple of days a week of free time, and would have zero issues filling that time and getting something positive out of it, even if I wasn't allowed to leave my house.
I'm not saying there weren't downsides, but more free time was amazing
