My Favorite Cartoon About Annoying Ads

I’m a huge fan of Tom Fishburne and his “Marketoonist” cartoons about advertising. This one is my favorite:

It captures perfectly how the online advertising industry annoys users with pop ups, autoplays, oversized ads, pre-rolls, clickbait and other user-unfriendly ads. And this is exactly why we take so much pride in working on Adblock Plus as a self-defense tool for users, and in working on Acceptable Ads as a user-publisher compromise for better ads.
