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.

Cubicles were reviled by the previous generations, but now we get open office plans where you don't have nearly so much space or privacy. Cubicles would be an upgrade.
Cubicles are terrible until your office gets converted into an open concept, and then they seem amazing. Home office is best though.
Home Office can also really suck if you don't have a dedicated workspace at home. Spending 10-12 hours at the same place with no reason to leave the home for days can really fuck with your emotional state.

WFH is great if you have a partner or kids, but as a single person it genuinely is a terrible way to function
Offices with actual closable doors are kinda nice
I feel this. I used to work in a 1970s era courthouse building. Dimly lit and filled with archive boxes. Winding deadend corridors. My cubicle was undeniably my private workspace. Only office environment I kinda miss.
The quad-plex half-cubicle shared workspace that office moved to was garbage. A leading factor in my eventual departure actually. Work environment means a lot. Nothing beats remote work though.
I used to work in an underground converted corridor surrounded by machines. Extremely hot under load, no windows, and you'd have to drink water constantly in summer to maintain an even temp. It was a great place to think and work. Internet was severely limited to LAN, so you'd have no distractions.
Whilst I don't miss the noxious environment I do miss the clarity of thought and the sheer productivity
