The *Loss* meme originates from the 2008 webcomic *Ctrl+Alt+Del* by Tim Buckley. The comic, intended as a dramatic turn for the usually humorous series, depicts protagonist Ethan rushing to a hospital, finding his wife in a hospital bed, and standing in silence as she has a miscarriage. The minimalistic panel structure (| || |̅| |_̅|) was widely mocked for its unintentional awkwardness. Over time, it became an abstract meme, with users recreating the format in increasingly absurd ways. *Loss* evolved into a symbol of forced seriousness in webcomics and remains an iconic part of internet meme history.
