This is super cool, the names are fun, and the illustrations are great. My only grip is with the way the blocks are displayed... seems like a whole lot going on at once, and it's kinda distracting. Maybe less blocks per page, or less boxes and more white space could make it easier to read.

@tostartafire Yeah, I feel this way as well. It is really hard to read, just way too much going on. @sbastn Text is a little small as well. Perhaps scale it to 2 frames per row and a lot more white space between the rows would be great.
In any case, it is a great and fun way to explain why HTTPS is so important!
@abadesi sadly I have no talent for illustration, it's Sebastian Hermida (sbastn on Twitter) who does it all.

Pros:Great for non-tech people, appeals to kids if they need to learn about HTTPS. Something like this should exist for a lot of topics!
Cons:none
Totally agree! I believe similar resources exist for a lot of technical topics. Would you be interested in collaborating on something like github.com/explainlikeimfive to curate similar resources (like ncase games, etc.)?
This is awesome! I went ahead and created https://git.io/eli5 to curate similar resources. Contributions are very welcome!! :D
If you are still reading this, we just launched a new episode! Did you know that 1999 was a cat-astrophe? Let's us tell you why: https://howhttps.works/https-ssl...
Thanks everyone for the upvotes and the feedback! We are currently wrapping up the next chapter and we'll launch it on Monday.
It would be good if you write the same for other security concepts. I enjoyed reading it.
Pros:Nicely written can say in a layman's language
Cons:Nothing
Really easy to ready, I'm going to share it to my mum :)
Pros:Easy to get, especially for non tech people
Cons:None
