This is a transcript of the December 9th, 2025, RGBots comic.
Panel One
Red is feeling nostalgic about the old days.
Red: I haven’t commented on an online discussion since 1998.
Panel Two
Red continues reminiscing about the early days of the internet.
Red: My first impulse when I see a shitty opinion is to threaten to come through the screen and drop kick them in the throat.
Panel Three
Camera pulls back, Red things about what he lost over the years.
Red: Pretty soon after, into 1999, I noticed that a lot of websites updated their Terms of Service agreements to include anti-drop kicking language.
Panel Four
Red glances up, thinking about time and his place in it.
Red: In any case, commenting on other people’s stupid posts just isn’t as fun anymore if I can’t threaten to drop kick them in their stupid faces. The internet has really changed.
