The very first rage comic, originally published on 4chan in 2008
A rage comic is a short cartoon strip using a growing set of pre-made cartoon faces, or rage faces, which usually express rage or some other simple emotion or activity.[1] They are usually crudely drawn in Microsoft Paint or other simple drawing programs, and were most popular in the early 2010s.[2] These webcomics have spread much in the same way that Internet memes do, and several memes have originated in this medium. They have been characterized by Ars Technica as an "accepted and standardized form of online communication."[3] The popularity of rage comics has been attributed to their use as vehicles for humorizing shared experiences.[4] The range of expression and standardized, easily identifiable faces has allowed uses such as teaching English as a foreign language.[5]
