Panel 7 Bert is making a classic pre-emoji emoji that died in its time (RIP). Does anybody remember what this face was called? Sound off in the comments!
Ah yes, I believe you are referring to the “awesome face” emoji, otherwise known as the elusive “Epic Smiley”, a forum dwelling icon popularized by the likes of SomethingAwful and other such pre-reddit image/discussion boards. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com…
I love this one. The last panel just perfectly conveys a particular character-level personality type and meta-level authorial take on said personality type and it makes me smile fractally

Hey, SomethingAwful forums still exist! Despite Lowtax's increasing medical debts, somehow.

A guy I knew defined Awesomeface as "I am so disdainful right now that it is like a kind of ecstasy."
