Originating from the webcomic Ctrl+Alt+Del by Tim Buckley in 2008, 'Loss' is a wordless four-panel strip that shifted abruptly from gaming comedy to a serious miscarriage storyline. The jarring tonal shift sparked immediate controversy and mockery, eventually evolving into one of the internet's most enduring and abstract memes. It is characterized by its specific minimalist structure: one vertical line, two vertical lines (one shorter), two vertical lines of equal height, and an 'L' shape (one vertical, one horizontal). Today, the meme is used to hide the pattern in everyday objects, challenging users to ask the iconic question, 'Is this Loss?'
