[[http://tinyurl.com/comccomic Com'c]] is a webcomic by @/{{Krixwell}} about "four neighbors in an apartment building where anything can happen". It is drawn in MSPaint at low resolution, and shows only the faces (in profile, and not including eyes or ears) of at most two characters per panel, although this is simply the art style that suits the author the most.

The humor of the comic is largely driven by the character personalities and the conversations that result from them, as well as the occasional random events. There is no ongoing storyline.
