It's a remarkable demonstration of the power of comics as a medium, and in a style invented by the Web as a community. Many comments come from people in their early 20s, who feel the comic has provided valuable insight as they prepare to begin their adult lives in earnest, while some older people report a sense of happiness and validation taking the place of disappointment or regret. The comic has over 3,000 comments on Reddit, virtually all of which express respect and gratitude for the man's inspirational story. As explained in the story, this man and his wife are plugged into Internet culture, especially online gaming, and that following the Reddit community helps he and his wife "feel connected to the world." It's just one of several statements that will make you feel the way you just did, reading that quote, and you won't be alone. This man's experiences in the United States' Armed Forces have particular impact upon this truly great and uncommonly uplifting story, and it seemed only right to republish it in honor of Veteran's Day.The 86-year-old Reddit user goes by the name of 1925gamer, referencing the year of his birth.

When you get angry, you can lash out or seethe inside. Published earlier this week on the man's birthday, the comic details in deeply personal terms the events of his life, beginning with his earlier memories from childhood and including his service in World War II, estrangement from his children and discovery of true love. Put Your Rage Into a Cartoon and Exit Laughing. For example when using the “forever alone” face to conclude a comic one understands the implication that the words “forever alone” are insinuated even if the phrase itself is not included.Because rage comics typically express primal responses to utterly mundane but often "scene"-specific experiences, it would seem unlikely that an 86-year-old man would be the author of what many Reddit users are calling the greatest rage comic ever made. Other textual associations are more like taglines and may or may not accompany the face. This includes the convention of beginning a sentence with “Y U NO” when confronting a problem or using the words “derp” “herp” or “derping” at any point in the sentence to convey silliness or stupidity. Forever Alone is an exploitable rage comic character that is used to express loneliness and disappointment with life.
Many of the rage faces have a textual association that goes along with the face. Each face acts as a sort of malleable character that inhabits not just comics but also many other types of memes as well as a presence in avatars photos, youtube videos, forum posts, and general internet culture. Rage comics can be more broadly understood by examining the tradition of “rage faces”. Know Your Meme claims that this is where many of the features and characteristics that we now associate with Rage Comics were developed. The spread and cultural impact of these comics is believed to have been increased because of the “FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU” subreddit which encouraged users to submit their rage comics. The context that the comics are shared in changes how “relateable” the comic is and how much the reader is likely to empathize with the situation. Often times the meaning of the faces changes due to the context in which the comics are created and shared. These comics most typically illustrate an everyday situation that ends with a funny or satisfying punchline that is usually indicated through one of the various rage faces or one of their typical tag lines (For example: FFFFUUUU, Problem?, Derp, Me Gusta, Forever Alone) in order to create a secondary relevence that relies at least somewhat on a cultural understanding of the meaning that has been embedded into the face(s) being used. The year is 2020 and I am reading rage comics. This first rage face was most likely created in MS Paint, but as the tradition grew comics generators appeared in which anyone could easily create a rage comic using a variety of templates and traditional “rage faces” with little to no MS Pain or Photoshop skills. The emergence of a 'Feels Guy' varitation known as 'Doomer Girl' has caused rage comics, a staple of 2010s internet culture, to re-enter the spotlight. Rage comics/faces originated in 2008 on 4chan’s famous /b/ board with the rendition now known as “rage guy” or “FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU”.
