Created by webcomic artist KC Green for his series 'Gunshow' in 2013, the 'This is Fine' meme depicts a dog calmly sipping coffee while his house is engulfed in flames. Originally part of a strip titled 'The On-Fire Dog,' the panels represent a state of blissful ignorance or forced acceptance during a catastrophic situation. It gained massive popularity as a visual shorthand for political unrest, personal crises, and general societal chaos. Today, it remains one of the most recognizable symbols of the modern era, capturing the universal feeling of pretending everything is okay when it clearly is not.
