Although used on numerous websites such as [[Reddit]], [[Cheezburger]], ESS.MX, Ragestache, and [[9GAG]], the source of the rage comic has largely been attributed to [[4chan]] in mid-2008. The first rage comic was posted to the 4chan /b/ "Random" board in 2008. It was a simple 4-panel strip showing the author's anger about having water splash into their anus while on the toilet, with the final panel featuring a zoomed-in face, known as Rage Guy, saying "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-". It was quickly reposted and modified, with other users creating new scenarios and characters.<ref name=weirdworm>{{cite web | title=Our 8 Favorite Rage Comic Characters: a Case Study | url=http://www.weirdworm.com/our-8-favorite-rage-comic-characters-a-case-study/ | author=Ben Dennison | date=28 March 2012 | publisher=www.weirdworm.com | access-date=March 30, 2014 | archive-date=30 March 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330233159/http://www.weirdworm.com/our-8-favorite-rage-comic-characters-a-case-study/ | url-status=live }}</ref>{{better source needed|date=June 2024}}
