The Fucking ad covers the content I literally could not get back into his comic strip because of the Fucking unremoveable ad covering the content. Guess time for that ad blocker.

    Not all webcomic authors are also well versed in web design. There’s a good chance this is a WordPress theme for comics and a plug-in for ads, maybe with more third party add-ons.

      If that is the Something Positive I read a decade ago he should know how to make a website by now, and it was not that bad back then.

      Then you load up your site, go “oh, those ads make my site look like garbage”, and turn the plugin off. Ads don’t magically appear, someone has to actively decide that they want them and that they are happy with the trade off for user experience

        While that’s true, there’s also the “Works on my machine” effect.

        It might’ve been less obstructive on their pc than on op’s

          yeah OP has an ultra wide. the ad probably calculates size with a percentage.
