Is it bad to read comics during the Sabbath?

So my Sabbath usually goes like this: Friday nights I'll usually spend reading webcomics or looking up things I'm interested in/don't know much about (ex. mental health) while on Saturday I'll start the day off by reading a chapter of my Bible and then spending the rest of it drawing/coloring while listening to some Christian podcasts and/or music that I like.

Pre-Covid, when I went to church, my Sabbath schedule looked quite a bit different since my church was not the best and drained me a lot more than school did. If I wasn't napping, I was just sitting there and waiting for it to end. I honestly grew to despise the church, the denomination, and the Sabbath, so Covid really helped me avoid leaving by helping me get a more personal relationship with God that did not include trying to force myself to fit the church's rigid script. Now I enjoy my Sabbaths a lot more and feel a lot closer to God than being at church ever has.

My thing is that the whole "reading webcomics" part I feel many with me for and I'm wondering if it's a genuinely bad thing to do. My brother and I had no problem with it since that's how we had done it for years and at our church most of the youth are not against watching movies, TV shows, or playing video games during the Sabbath. It wasn't until I scoured the internet that I realized how looked down they were as activities for the Sabbath. What are your guy's thoughts on this?
