My friend said the 'this is fine' dog meme was about climate change, but I think he's wrong
He told me last week that the dog sitting in the burning room is a symbol for people ignoring climate disaster. I looked it up, and the artist, KC Green, said it's actually about his own personal stress and deadlines. The comic first showed up in 2013 on his site Gunshow. I think we often read too much into simple jokes. Has anyone else seen a meme where the common explanation just doesn't match the real story?

Yup, that's the actual origin story.

Makes you wonder how many other things started from some random, weird moment like that. Kinda wild when you think about it.

The whole microwave oven came from a melted candy bar in a scientist's pocket. Makes you wonder what other everyday stuff began with pure accident. We're probably surrounded by happy little mistakes.
