I had never seen this meme before doing this year's rankings, but I have to say it's a pretty fun concept that's executed well. I think what really puls it together is the character design; this 90s try hard cool kid in sunglasses you'd see in like a Cookie Crisps commercial eating a bowl of cereal next to his bratty little sister. Then, you have the over-sized shirt and pose striking, like the shirt is made of iron and the stiff pose is the only way to comfortably wear that metal death trap. I also like the implication that everyone in this Teen Comix universe just wears shirts that describe what they're thinking at all times. It's a nonsense scenario that can only thrive in a classic three-panel comic set-up, and though I really didn't like many of the ones I saw (most of this meme is honestly just anime crap I have no connection to), the ones I did like were very well done and definitely got chuckles out of me. But, I also think it speaks to the mentality a lot of faux tough people have, when really there's like a million things to be scared of everyday and it's perfectly normal to feel that way, even down to the most simplistic & innocuous fears. No matter how much of a badass you think you are in your head, sometimes it's better to just let the fear take hold of you and see where that feeling takes you. To quote Taylor Swift, "Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death", and if you notice, the Teen Comix Dude still strikes his confident pose and stone-cold expression despite his new-found "one fear". Let's all try to be like Teen Comix Dude.
