AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'This Is Fine' meme features a two-panel image of an anthropomorphic dog calmly sipping coffee while seated at a table. The room around him is engulfed in flames, portraying a stark contrast between the dog's calm demeanor and the chaotic situation. The character is depicted as reassuring himself by saying 'This is fine,' despite the obvious danger. This comic is commonly used online to symbolize denial or acceptance in dire or absurd predicaments.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from a webcomic titled 'The Pills Are Working' or 'On Fire,' part of the Gunshow comic series by K.C. Green. It appeared in comic #648, published on January 9th, 2013. The comic can be viewed here. Green’s artwork has also inspired other popular memes, such as Staredad, Mother of God, and I'm Okay With This. The specific strip used for 'This Is Fine' depicts the dog character remaining composed in a disastrous setting, where the room is literally on fire.[1]
