Rage Comic（暴走漫畫），簡稱「暴漫」，台灣另譯作「梗漫」，是一種源自4chan的網絡迷因及其開放式創作的漫畫作品。通常以日常生活故事、笑話段子為主題，通過簡單的手繪表情（Rage Faces）或既有圖片構成的簡單漫畫，類似信筆塗鴉或貼圖堆砌，並不強調藝術美感，可由不具備美術功底的大眾網民製作並發布，經常用來諷刺社會現象或玩梗。 [1]

起源 與發展
WHERE DOES RAGE COMICS COME FROM?
From the sobbing 「Forever Alone」 character to the furious 「FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU」 guy to the evil, blue-faced 「I LIED!」 figure, rage comics are short, usually four- to six- panel web comics that humorously depict everyday situations that are generally exasperating, depressing, or awkward. They took off in online message boards like 4chan and Reddit in 2008.
The protagonists of rage comics are a cast of recurring figures, usually caricatured faces. By their nature, these comics are drawn with deliberate crudeness in Microsoft Paint or a similarly basic image editor—and the humor tends to be just as crude. Though simplistic and exaggerated, many of the faces, like the 「Me Gusta」 face, are grotesquely hyper-detailed to play up their humor and shock value. The website Know Your Meme identifies eight major rage comic faces/characters.
The name of these rage comics comes from the fact that the very first rage comic depicted only one character, now known as either 「FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU」 or 「Rage Guy,」 who is indeed a very angry fellow. This first four-panel rage comic depicted a person using a toilet, resulting in the toilet water splashing back up, leading to the expression of rage shown by Rage Guy.
Despite their name, rage comics aren』t exclusively depictions of 「rage,」 as most characters express other, though still intense, emotions. Most rage comics stories focus on small, often real-life episodes, usually an awkward social interaction, blown out of cringeworthy proportion. Situations can include a trip to the DMV, getting pulled over by a cop, or telling one’s mother that you』re moving back in. The joke, in all of these comics, tends to be the reader’s ability to relate to the experience—and the rage comic character’s extreme reaction represents what we all are feeling on the inside when dealing with life’s uncomfortable and stressful moments.
Part of the success of rage comics lies in the fact that they are easy to create. There is no one person who makes them or official creator. Nor is there one consistent sense of humor in them; rage comics span a wide variety of different themes and styles, with many camps not liking the comics created by other camps. However, the intent of rage comics has never been to create something original, but rather, to use familiar experiences to generate laughs.
Though rage comics began on 4chan and can be found all over the internet, their unofficial home is on the 「f7u12」 section of Reddit, which stands for FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU (Seven F’s, 12 U’s), the so-called proper number of F’s and U’s to use when spelling out a particularly piqued fuck.
Rage comics are no longer as popular or ubiquitous as they were in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but they are still seen throughout mainstream culture, even used in advertisements by major corporations.

常見形象
早期的暴走漫畫並沒有固定的人物，基本上都是用Windows畫圖工具繪製的粗糙表情。很快，網民開始使用有名人的圖片表情或這些表情的簡筆畫。在天朝的發展與商業化版本中，一些人物形象被創造出來並加以固化。
架空形象
- trollface (2008年由Carlos Ramirez創作)
真實人物
- 姚明
- 成龍

- 王尼瑪的女朋友，也可以化作王尼瑪的女神、老師、老媽、妹妹等各式女性人物，也稱得上是萬能角色。
爭議
有人認為西安摩摩信息技術有限公司使用暴走漫畫做商業行為有侵權的性質。亦有人認為應該釐清該公司的版權衍生物和原來的暴走漫畫的關係。[2]
