This is the comic you're thinking of. http://www.commitstrip.com/en/2015/02/19/when-i-install-a-so... This was one of the comics that convinced me to add them to my RSS feed. I have not been disappointed since.

It's a blank page that says "Loading..." Is that the joke...?

edit: I started browsing around their site, and when I returned to that page via the back button, the actual comic was there.

I removed them from same recently because I felt I could no longer relate to the jokes, or some such.

That's so brilliant because it was true. (Nailed it, pixel perfect)
