Microsoft Comic ChatComic Chat is an IRC client created by Microsoft bundled with some Internet-aware versions of Microsoft Windows. Its main feature, which set it apart from other IRC clients, is that it enabled comic avatars to represent a user; this character could express a specified emotion, possibly making IRC chatting a more emotive and expressive experience. However, the method that this software used to achieve the comic effect was to prepend a small number to the plain text of the user's speech, which defined what emotion the character expressed. This had a somewhat annoying effect on non-Comic Chat users. Comic Chat is seldom used today, perhaps because of insistence from other non-Comic Chat users that the Comic Chat mode be turned off, as some users found the superflous text annoying, or because the MSChat network shut down. The program is used to create the jerkcity comic strip. External link Comic Chat
