The Owlturd Comix 'Vulnerable' parody, created by artist Shenanigansen (Shen Comix), features a character attempting to open up or show emotion, only to be immediately crushed by a giant fist representing 'Life' or another obstacle. After being struck, the character retreats into a fortress or armor, vowing 'Never again.' First appearing in the mid-2010s, this four-panel comic became a staple of internet culture for its perfect depiction of emotional vulnerability backfiring. It is widely used to illustrate the struggle of trying new things, dating, or simply dealing with adult responsibilities, making it one of the most recognizable relatable comic templates online.
