The story telling and gifs are really outstanding. Congrats to Bloomberg. What's not so nice is ... it's completely not accessible. If you achieve that - hats off

I liked the concise way the story was told - the text was short, to the point, without much fluff. On the other hand, I was actually a bit annoyed by the whole comic thing: why is a comic necessary to present a rather simple idea to an adult - tt felt kind of condescending. The drawings didn't really add anything to the story, and I found the animations distracting. ...now get off my lawn :)

I wish the animations could be switched off. They're distracting and don't add anything.

Didn't we just have that discussion on the compression thread?

Would alt tags on the images solve that? I'm all for interesting new ways to tell the news (previously worked with the guy at news corp au who was in charge of trying that stuff out)

While I don't see the artist credited, there are strong similarities to the wonderful https://catandgirl.com/
