A 6 panel grayscale comic titled "The Whale King Part 1: He Can Handle It" featuring a king and a mage in some kind of internal space with brick walls. Panel 1. The king is approaching the mage in the background while the mage works on a magic sphere. King, cheery: Mage! Cease thy arcane ministrations. I require entertainment! Mage, angrily: I'm a cosmic being of unimaginable power. Not some court jester. Panel 2. Close up on the two. King, angrily: I am your KING and I say jest! Mage, slyly: Very well... Panel 3. Mage stands beside the king holding a smart phone. The king reaches for it wide eyed. Mage: The people of the future will call this a smart phone. I have filled it with games to provide nigh limitless fun. If you can resist their temptations. Panel 4. The king is glaring down at the smart phone in his hands. King, suspicious: Temptations? What manner of trap is this? Mage, cheerily: No trap your majesty. It may prey upon the weaknesses inherit in the common man... Panel 5. We see the phone from king's perspective. The screen has opened an app titled "Gummy Krunch Saga". His angry reflection is visible in on the screen. The mage is visible in the background. Mage, cheerily: But surely someone of your noble heritage has nothing to fear from my delightful little rectangle. King, angrily: Of course I don't! Panel 6.
