A Rage Comic is a short panel comic using a set of pre-made and/or drawn cartoon faces, or Rage Faces. This set is quickly growing in size.
Rage comics usually express rage or some other simple emotions or mundane activities. These comics have spread similarly in the same way that internet memes do, and several memes have originated in this medium. They have been characterized by Ars SAY Technica as an "Accepted and standardized form of online communication". The popularity of Rage comics has been attributed to their use as vehicles for humorizing shared experiences. The range of expressions and standardized, easily identifiable faces has allowed uses such as teaching English as a foreign language.
Rage comics are normally poorly created and drawn comics, often created with MS Paint (Microsoft Paint). However, despite them being badly drawn, they have evolved into a meme over-time. Rage comics were at their peak in the late 2000s and early 2010s. But there may also be more modern rage comics such as Oil Floats on Water, but then after 2012 the meme started dying, which made that public make a newer version (Trollge).
History
The first rage comic was posted to the 4chan /b/random board in 2008. It was a simple 4-panel strip showing the author's anger about getting "splashback" while on the toilet, with the final panel featuring a zoomed-in face, known as Rage Guy, screaming "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-". It was quickly reposted and modified numerous times, with other users creating new scenarios and new characters.[5]
Although used on numerous Websites such as Reddit, Cheezburger, ESS.MX, and 9GAG, the source of the rage comic has largely been attributed to 4chan in mid-2007. One very notable site is Ragestache, the most popular of the Spartz Media sites, which is devoted exclusively to rage comics and has over 1,900 pages, as of January 2014.
