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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I just get teased by my computer guy because I still use WinZip. Apparently that’s now considered “retro”. Ow my dignity.
What's the cool zip utility?
Apparently 7-Zip. I’ve never felt bother enough by WinZip to stay en vogue with the times I guess.
7-Zip is open source while WinZip is not. Also, 7-Zip's native format, .7z, is superior to Zip.
7zip has been "the standard" for like twenty years
Man, I'm over here still using my paid version of WinRAR like a boomer, and it seems to work just fine.
I was wondering where this left WinRAR. I never felt like WinZip was ever cool.
I used 7zip for so long I thought it was retro by now.
if winzip is windows only, the cool new zip utility is stock windows explorer
It even supports .rar and .7z now
oh thats good, that means everything will start using .7z because of how much better it is at compressing files, right? ...right?
