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.

Adhd, pretty much.
Hardly. Starting a project is often pretty straightforward, the possibilities are boundless, and the vision can be fuzzy without interfering with the initial work.
As soon as you get to the more complex and less fun bits of the project - reconciling flaws in the initial design, repeatedly failing in execution of a step in the operation, finding a missing piece, being forced to backtrack because you missed a step, debugging, validating results, beautifying the final project, documentation - its normal to get frustrated, lose enthusiasm, and shift focus. You don't have to be diagnosed with anything to experience anxiety, boredom, or ennui. These are universal human conditions.
If anything, I'd argue a certain level of OCD is necessary to get a project over the finish line. If you're not a touch masochistic, nothing will ever get done.
Did you just “everyone’s a little ADHD” me? For the record, I was only suggesting that this is something an ADHD person would understand very well without intending to imply that the OP was ADHD.
No.
Yup, this comic accurately describes my office and garage.
