The first two panels are above, but here's the full strip, courtesy its creator, artist KC Green: 'Things are going to be okay.' And then the dog's face melts like one of the Nazis at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. 'I’m okay with the events that are unfolding currently,' says the dog, taking a gulp from the mug. The room is engulfed in flame, but the dog smiles and says, 'This is fine.' The dog calmly lifts a coffee mug to its lips. The new alt definition comes from a 2013 webcomic called ' On Fire.' In the six panels, a dog wearing a hat sits at a kitchen table. Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for president of the United States of America? This, too, is fine.

The polar ice sheets are melting faster than ever? This is fine. An oil spill has covered the Gulf of Mexico? This is fine. The three-word phrase now doubles as shorthand for when a situation becomes so terrible our brains refuse to grapple with its severity. Never has the threat of burning to death been so cute.This is fine does not mean this is fine - not on social media. Green recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for a plush toy version of the 'This is fine' dog. 'He doesn’t melt It’s easier to sell the first two than the entire panel where the dog melts into nothingness.' In an interview with The Verge, Green reflected on why the two panels of the 'One Fire' comic became so popular.

#Im fine dog update

Perhaps it’s unlikely this update will become as popular as the original meme. The Nib has the entire 'This is not fine' comic - along with many other great comics from a collection of talented artists. We actually paid the artist who made this. The artist produced an updated version of his iconic comic, replacing the dog with an elephant symbolic of the Republican party. Green's referring to when the GOP used the 'This is fine' meme to poke fun at the Democratic National Convention. Also, the Nib asked me if I had any comic ideas to send to them and this one has been in the back of my head for a couple months, more so since the GOP tweet thing.' There’s a breaking point, and I think we’ll find it this year. It’s been a weird year and I think the election is not helping. 'Every bit of insane news piece and the political climate made this follow up happen. ' ALL of 2016 inspired this,' Green tells The Verge. Instead, the meme serves, as we wrote earlier this summer, 'as shorthand for when a situation becomes so terrible our brains refuse to grapple with its severity.'īut in the past couple months, as the world seemed to collapse beneath the weight of terrible news, Green was inspired to create 'an alternate take' or a 'parallel universe.' In the update, the dog screams 'This is not fine!' As the dog extinguishes the flames, he continues, 'The was no reason to let it last this long and get this bad. The 'This is fine' meme comes from KC Green’s 2013 webcomic 'On Fire.' The meme rarely includes the final panels, in which the dog’s flesh melts from his arms and skull, like chocolate syrup running down an ice cream sundae. He smiles as he says, 'This is fine.' Today, however, the dog changes his stance. For three years, a cartoon dog has sat patiently in a house fire.
