Joshua K. and Hinches both sent this in: “This appears to be a joke about redaction or censorship, but it would seem like it would need to have *some* visible text to make sense.” and “Is this supposed to be some sort of political statement? What an I missing, besides all the dialogue??

Was this an earlier Sunday Wizard of Id at one time?
It’s a reference to how the Epstein Files came out and there’d be entire documents with everything redacted.
That’s the general assumption, but I’m not convinced. There’s no actual joke here. Without a joke, it’s a nakedly political (not necessarily partisan) statement, akin to saying “There’s no strip today because the Epstein files have not been released.” Not only is this out of character for the creators, it’s also too subtle by half.
An actual strip about the Epstein files would make an effort to point that out via an actual punchline, even if the rest of the strip appeared heavily redacted. This has every appearance of being an actual strip that encountered some sort of production error.
