A two-panel SMBC comic contrasting online reading with online advertising. Top panel, green background, captioned "READING ARTICLES ONLINE:" shows a curly-haired man calmly sitting at a table reading a tablet that displays the dry headline "TINY READER IS OBSOLETE," with a coffee cup nearby. Bottom panel, yellow background, captioned "WATCHING ADS ONLINE:" shows the same man holding a phone that blasts a loud, aggressive ad in a speech bubble: "MEN YOUR DICK IS TINY BECAUSE YOU ARE WEAK BUY BALLZMAX-4000 OR YOU WILL NEVER MAAAAAATE." The joke contrasts the bland calm of articles with the screaming insult-driven hard sell of ads. Votey: a close-up of a bearded man with a wide, horrified open mouth and bugging eyes, a speech bubble shouting at him: "YOUR BALLS ARE WEAK BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT ENJOYED OUR MANGO QUINOA SMOOTHIIIIIIES!" extending the same absurd insult-as-marketing gag to a health-food product.
