A rage comic is a short comic utilizing a growing set of pre-made cartoon faces, or meme faces, which usually express rage or some other simple emotion or activity. These comics have spread much in the same way that internet memes do, and several memes have originated in this medium. They have been characterized by Ars Technica as an "accepted and standardized form of online communication."[1]
Rage comics' popularity has been attributed to their use as vehicles for humorizing shared experiences.[2] The range of expression and standardized, easily identifiable faces has allowed uses such as teaching English as a foreign language.[3]
