The "Loss" meme originated from a webcomic titled Ctrl+Alt+Del, created by Tim Buckley. The specific strip, published in 2008, depicts a series of four panels showing a character experiencing the loss of a loved one. The comic received widespread criticism for its melodramatic tone and lack of nuance, which led to its transformation into a meme. The meme's visual structure, consisting of four panels featuring simple lines and shapes, became a symbol of over-the-top, forced emotional storytelling. Over time, "Loss" was repurposed in various internet communities as an absurdist meme, often used to represent unexpected or out-of-place dramatic moments
