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.

Thanks for the link to the creator's social media account, but that image is jpeged to hell.
Here's a much better copy
has like 5% less compression which is barely visible in direct comparison
Original is 1.47mb. OP's is 0.47mb. That's about 3x smaller and it's a significant difference in clarity.
It's fine if that doesn't matter to you, but don't spew shitty info just because you don't care about the difference.
OP's pic was fine, the quality was good enough for what it is, and it only used 1/3 of the space and bandwidth on the server.
"Won't anyone think of the bandwidth of the poor server?"
Screw that, give us the high quality stuff. Shit would almost fit onto a floppy disk. 1.47mb is nothing.
Quality snob* here
Totally fine
*not really, just reverse image search JPG’d images and post originals when I notice something’s ugly
Disagree. One is kinda blurry and the other is crisp and clear. The difference is night and day.
Thats probably your app previewing the image in the post that way. If you open up the file its almost the same.
Downloaded both on desktop, still a pretty significant difference?
