Dog im fine meme skin#
Yes, it’s easier on the eyes than watching his skin melt off! I also think that’s just how it started as a meme. Maybe people prefer the optimistic version? Or is it mock-optimistic? It’s also interesting that the first two panels, which are weirdly reassuring, are the two most people know: Rarely do we see the dog melting into oblivion. I feel like it’s more the relatable thing that keeps it going, rather than the other. I see a lot of people use it oppositely, thinking “ha ha this person must be feeling this way now due to the news of their problems leaking” or whatever. Why it’s loved, I assume and hope it’s that people see themselves in the dog, tryin’ his best to ignore his problems and continue on. Plus I have a good fan base of people pointing others in the right direction on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and anywhere else it’s seen. And I think since this is more recent, it was easier for people to trace it back to me. Why do you think your “This is fine” dog has become so widely known and loved? You’ve done numerous cartoons over the years. Green corresponded with us from his Massachusetts office the interview has been lightly edited for clarity. Salon tracked down the comics artist to get at the meaning of his new cartoon, and to discuss the announcement that he’s Kickstarting a plush-toy version of Question Hound, which at press time had already raised almost $200,000 more than its initial $35,000 goal, with 28 days left to go. Had the chaos of 2016, and the shouting behind the political race, finally gotten to Green and his famously chilled-out dog? So when the site The Nib ran a new version of the cartoon with “THIS IS NOT FINE!!”, it seemed like something had shifted in the fabric of reality.
