Explanation

This "strip", if you can even call it that, is a clear attempt at a trend of one-upping in a trend of intentional lazy edits designed to lampoon lazy edits. It even goes as far as to one-up 4897: Going deeper into lack of effort, the strip that ran only the day before and had seemingly been the culmination of that trend. As such, this "strip" consists of nothing but blank pixels in an effort to look like no effort at all had been put into the "strip"; this strip ultimately proves to be the apparent culmination of a running gag that had been unwittingly started by 2193: All You Need is Me; 5520: Take It To The Limit One More Time nonetheless started yet another branch of the gag taking yet more inspiration from 4160: One Even Better/Worse, a common point where branches of the gag derive inspiration from.

Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time a submission consisted of nothing but blank space in the strip area; 293: i and 3181: SCPField also each have a content-free strip, but the former strip was designed as a joke surrounding a non-existent date, the latter was a joke designed around sanitization of comic strips, and both had author's notes written to punctuate their intended jokes.

The author writes:

The author's notes section for this strip is completely blank.
