On iOS every time I “scroll” I seem to trigger a number of scroll events some times making frames go by unread. Allow me to shake my fist at whippersnappers who mess with scrolling.

I dislike 'scrolljacking' too. On desktop I was able to read this very comfortably by pressing space to trigger a page down movement.

yeah, it's not any better on a desktop browser either. scrolling wasn't broken, yet so many seem to have their own ideas on how to do it that's not better than the default.

scrolling to trigger the animation on this just feels like the wrong mechanics.

Yeah, I unfortunately couldn't get through it even though it looked interesting. I wish the animations had just been advanced by a simple button.

agreed, I would have liked to be able to advance the comic using the arrow keys or something. It looks genuinely interesting.

On desktop you can hit "page down" to go from page to page.

If you have a full size keyboard with "page down/up" keys. Laptops also run desktop OS/browsers.

On my laptop and I suspect many others, Page Down is Fn-Down Arrow.

This might be crazy talk, but simply advancing when clicked/tapped would have obviated all these workarounds, as it is a basically a slideshow where you advance by scrolling X distance instead of clicking.

I'll throw in the obligatory "it's not working without JS". Like, at all.

Use the space bar, I don't like scroll jacking either but for something like that it works very well.

on iOS, it seems to work much better if you use the scroll bar to scroll.
