Keyboards are Disgusting
Alternate method: convince them to pretend it's an Etch-a-Sketch and try to erase it.
Title text: Alternate method: convince them to pretend it's an Etch-a-Sketch and try to erase it.

[edit] Explanation

This comic references first and foremost that keyboards are totally filthy as they collect dirt and other small filth under the keys. Secondly, whomever is on the other side of the computer tricks the main character in this comic to lift the keyboard over his head so that the dirt falls on his face.

The image text references the toy Etch A Sketch in which you would draw lines using two knobs and shake the Etch A Sketch to clear the screen. If you shook a gross keyboard, you would get filth on you as well.

[edit] Transcript

[Hairy sits at his computer, chatting with another person.]
Chat: Wanna see an optical illusion? Hold your keyboard up in front of you and look at the home row.
[Hairy holds the keyboard in front of him.]
Chat: Now cross your eyes a little so the "g" and "h" overlap.
Chat: Keeping focus, lift the keyboard over your head.
[Hairy lifts the keyboard over his head still looking at the keyboard.]
[Tiny parts of dust and skin particles fall in Hairy's face.]
Hairy: Eww!
Chat: Haha
