Revel in your ceaseless ability to trick and stupify. You've got to admit, you're pretty damn proud of yourself. Hopefully that GoAnimate 14 day free trial doesn't go to waste. It was such a hassle to sign up for. You ponder for a moment how many more "flashes" you'll even be doing. Regardless, this whole project so far has turned out much better than expected. You consider getting to work on updating your stupid comic after your brief respite, but it's not like you NEED to update all day long. It's not like a bunch of people have given you 2.4 million dollars to write this thing. You're really glad they haven't. You couldn't cope with the weight of those expectations. You could continue the narrative now, sure. But there are just so many other fun things to do online!
What now?

You don't know what the hell Agar.io is supposed to be, but it looks like a giant flaming trainwreck. Freemium elements? Political nonsense? An impassioned plea to disable your adblocker? Who's even running this piece of shit website?
You've always kept at least 3 adblockers installed on ever computer you own. Some people get upset with you because they claim you're "taking money away from your favorite content creators". Those people fail to realize that the only way websites make money on ads is if someone clicks through them. There's not some magical computer wizard who sits just behind your screen and sends invoices to ad companies every time your browser loads a page with an ad on it. That would be really silly.
"So why not just click on the ads, you soulless leech?" Well, because since you've started using 3 adblockers, you've not gotten a single computer virus. Coincidence? Almost certainly not. You should get back to work on your comic, but there are so many FUN things to do. Like not playing Agar.io.
Anyone have any better ideas?

>Whitelist your favorite YouTube content creators. Where else are they going to receive ad revenue? Mobile users?? You're not completely soulless. You whitelisted pannenkoek's main channel months ago... although he hasn't uploaded a video there since about January. As far as cr1tkal goes, you're an old enough fan to know how much he struggles with receiving his youtube ad money, so instead of whitelisting him, you support him (modestly) on Patreon. Every other youtube channel you're subbed to is a personal friend who's videos aren't monetized, or, in Animal Collective's case, a band that certainly doesn't need your financial support to make money. I mean, you've already purchased every single one of their 11 albums on vinyl on compact disc, and you've seen them perform live twice! Knowing that you're supporting your favorite artists without having to sit through 45 second long car adverts fills you with a sense of... well-being. However, you can't but also feel like you have better things to be doing right now.
So do something, already.

>Update your Twitter feed. Man, you haven't posted on twitter in ages. Although your pinned tweet from almost exactly 2 years ago reads like a prophecy. You look at your absurdly low follower count and get upset for a second, but then you realize that the reason you don't use twitter is because you're already very much involved in a similar community. Oh well! Can't have too many social media accounts, you think to yourself. Some scientist or something (maybe a buzzfeed article?) said it was bad. Let's post a status. Ah, the perfect joke. It's topical, but with a twist! You're very proud of this tweet on several levels - one, because it plays off the meme "I have information that lead to the arrest of hillary clinton." and two, because it subverts the meme itself by replacing hillary clinton with hillary banks, a character from the hit TV comedy The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Time to release this tweet into the wild. A job well done. Well, you really think it's time to stop screwing around.... but maybe one more thing before you do. For some cosmic reason, you believe that you have very little control over whether or not you will stop messing around online, but shake that belief away quickly.
Well, should we update this comic?
