Safely Endangered is a popular webcomic series created by UK-based artist Chris McCoy, known for its minimalist art style and unexpected, often absurdist punchlines. Several of these comics have transcended their original panels to become viral meme templates, most notably the 'Brain: Are you asleep?' scenario where the brain keeps the character awake with existential or embarrassing thoughts. These memes are widely used across platforms like Reddit and Twitter to express relatable social anxieties, intrusive thoughts, or bizarre 'what-if' questions. The versatility of McCoy's clean, expressive character designs makes them perfect for conveying everything from mild annoyance to deep existential dread.
