In 2013, KC Green created a webcomic called "On Fire" featuring a cartoon dog sitting in a burning room, calmly saying "This is fine" as its skin melts. This meme took off online, with people using key panels to show how not to deal with terrible situations. KC Green drew a follow-up cartoon in 2016 where the dog says "this is not fine" and puts out the fire. Green says this revised cartoon was a response to the upsetting news of 2016. The dog's words still resonate: "there was no reason to let it last this long and get this bad." Even now, the dog offers comfort and relatability as people face unprecedented challenges.
