In the final panel Curly-hair states wistfully that she was not done with the internet. The title text is Ponytail's response, which asserts Ponytail's belief that Curly-hair's message could not be important because the Facebook comment asserted that nothing of any significance could come from the internet after the ridiculous video. | In the final panel Curly-hair states wistfully that she was not done with the internet.

+ | While the main focus of the comic is on the internet meme of shutting down the internet, it is possible that online scams are also referenced in this comic. A common internet scam involves the scammer creating an online personality, usually of a foreign nature, that forms an emotional bond with the target. Once the target has become emotional attached to the fake persona, the scammer will make some request involving money, either to pay off persecutors or to fly to the target. Once the scammer has received the money, the online persona is usually destroyed, leaving the target with no idea what has happened to their supposed significant other. If the writer in the comic was, in fact, the target of such a scam, then the demise of the internet might have been to her benefit rather then her detriment. | ||
