      They mostly advertised other comics and merchandise from other comics, if I recall correctly.

      Also, Adblock originally released in 2002, and Adblock Plus came out in 2006.

      I do recall one of the reasons I respected webcomics ads was they weren’t ones that were animated, blaring music, or asking me to try to play a mini-game by clicking on something that specifically can’t be caught by your mouse.
