    These sorts of comics have been captioned like this for decades. I’m not sure if they were ever not captioned.

      If anything I think they were even more obvious back then… The Troll would have had “Troll” written on their laptop and so on…

        Until I read your comment I was wondering about the weirdly drawn goblin … so maybe the laptop should have a “Troll” sticker 🤦

          Definitely just a cute little goblin hanging out in the toilet, annoyed that all these chumps have rocked up and interrupted his computer time

      I’ve seen some done in the 1800s. Captioned.

      At this point it’s a staple of the genre.
