A way for people to graphically communicate thoughts and everyday experiences, while often having no
graphical ability of their own.
Typically assumes the form of a 4-pane comic with badly drawn MS-paint characters to represent one's own response.
Commonly distributed through
Reddit, Tumblr,
4chan and similar mediums.
Typical
rage comic illustrating an everyday inconvenience:
1. Clueless face depicting stick figure with iPod, listening to music
2.
Panic face as cable is caught on random object
3. Annoyed face as headphones come lose
4. Cliché "FUCK YOU!" (a.k.a, "
FUUUU") face, one of the most popular and easily recognised expressions in rage comics; and presumably the origin of the name.
