Rage Comics are a series of webcomics that use a set of pre-drawn cartoon characters, or 'rage faces,' to depict various everyday situations or relatable frustrations. Originating in 2008 on 4chan with the 'Rage Guy' face, the format quickly spread to Reddit and Tumblr, defining early 2010s internet culture. These comics typically feature characters like Trollface, Forever Alone, and Me Gusta, serving as a universal language for online storytelling. While their aesthetic is intentionally crude and MS Paint-styled, they remain one of the most significant pillars of meme history, paving the way for the complex formats seen today.
