Zach Weinersmith draws single-page strips that move between economics, evolutionary biology, parenting and moral philosophy. Below each comic sits a red button that opens a bonus panel, usually a darker or sillier extension of the same idea. New strips appear most days.
That red votey button is the reward for scrolling, and the bonus panel it opens is frequently funnier than the comic above it.
