This is a support site for the IRC chat client 'Microsoft Comic Chat'. It is a fun and unique way of chatting through comic characters in a comic strip environment rather than just plain boring texting.

Microsoft Comic Chat still works, EVEN in Windows 11!
In February of 2001, Microsoft closed the default servers for the program!
Therefore one must connect to their own favorite IRC chat server!
