That one Powerup Comics panel having become a recognizable meme, you know the one

is incredibly hilarious to me because Powerup Comics started as an incredibly elaborate joke back in 2007 in the Truth & Beauty Bomb forums (you know it's old when it involved forums), born from the beautiful mind of the artist Unwinder, plus a lot of community support for ideas and assets, as a way of parodying and trolling Ctrl+Alt+Del -- and, universally, webcomics about two gamers on a couch -- by creating the worst but still feasibly genuinely bad webcomic possible. Everything from the sloppy production, obviously re-used assets, shameless copypasting, corny and lazy punchlines, typical insecure gamer humor (Moobs as a character), and dated topical humor (like Jack Thompson in the early strips) was entirely deliberate and VERY well conversed upon.

The fact that this particular panel has basically been immortalized through infinite edits is just poetic and a good end for a very particular, very specific, very small amount of people, something incredibly and patentedly Internet to occur.

out of morbid curiosity, i went and looked into the old Power Up comics strip, most well known for the "as far as i'm concerned, all marriage is gay" meme flying around right now, because it's miraculously still up.

and y'all, it's pretty universally bad even as far Penny Arcade ripoffs from the mid aughts go (constant asset copypasting, 'jokes' that boil down to someone getting shot, blind console war loyalism, etc), but there's also some strips here that are so bad that they stack overflow into being ahead of their time re: internet absurdist humor

like just look at these

Much like a motorist passing by a wreck, i just couldn't look away out of hope I'd find more like these
