The 'Silent Protector' meme features an exploitable comic panel that shows a soldier enduring missile and bomb impacts to his back to shield a peacefully sleeping child. In various adaptations of the meme, the figures of the soldier, missiles, bombs, and the child are variously labeled to represent different concepts, items, or subcultures.
The comic that inspired the 'Silent Protector' meme was first posted by the Facebook page Laughing Colours on October 5th, 2016. The artwork was created by comic artist Utkal Gaurab. The post can be viewed on Facebook here.[1]
