The picture comes from 'On Fire', strip #648 of KC Green's webcomic Gunshow, posted on 9 January 2013, per Know Your Meme. In the first two panels a cartoon dog in a hat sits at a table with a mug in a burning room and says the line everyone knows. Those two panels were posted to a 4chan board on 26 April 2013 and reached Reddit's r/funny on 10 January 2014, captioned as someone dealing with university stress, and from there they became the reaction image for any situation that is plainly not fine. The US Republican Party's account tweeted it about the Democratic convention on 25 July 2016, and Green objected within the hour. The New York Times called it 'the meme this year deserves' in August 2016, The Atlantic called it 'The Meme That Defined a Decade' in January 2023, and Wikipedia records a plush of the dog spotted in NASA's mission control for the Perseverance Mars landing on 18 February 2021 and a Fortnite emote in June 2023. Green collected the strip and new cartoons into a book, This Is Fine: Life Lessons for a World on Fire, on 4 August 2026, per Wikipedia. Know Your Meme's counter on its entry read 2,148,046 when we checked on 25 October 2026, and on 24 October 2026 Google's autocomplete offered 'this is fine ai meme'.
Ours is a recreation of the scene, not the drawing. It's a real-looking video, not a cartoon, and it stars your own pet or your own face: your dog or cat keeps its coat, markings, ears and eyes, and you keep your face, hair, glasses and clothes. We don't draw the comic's dog or its hat, and the video has no caption or speech bubble, so you add 'This is fine' (or your own version) as text when you post. The fire stays on the walls and the smoke stays above the head; nobody flinches. Two versions: Your pet and You. The sound is the crackle of the fire and one soft sip.

Is the This Is Fine Meme trend still growing?
Evergreen: the picture has been the internet's shorthand for 'everything is not fine' since 2013, and it comes back with every bad news week. A new book (August 2026) keeps it in view, and Google's autocomplete offered 'this is fine ai meme' on 24 October 2026, so expect steady searches rather than a spike.
How to do the This Is Fine Meme trend: by hand or in one click

This Is Fine Meme mixes
- Your pet: Later in the video, the pet's sip: it lowers its head to the mug on the table, nose at the rim, laps at the coffee once or twice while the mug stays upright and still on the tabletop, then lifts its head back up; it stays sitting on the chair the whole time, front paws on the table edge, a real animal
- You: Later in the video, the sip: the person lifts the mug by its handle with one hand, head up and chin level, the rim below the nose so the eyes stay in view, takes one slow sip, then sets it back down and rests both hands beside it
Photo tips for This Is Fine Meme
- For your pet: one clear daylight photo of the whole animal, face to the camera, sitting or lying. Its coat, markings and ears come straight from it.
- Dogs and cats work best; one animal per photo, no people or other pets in it.
- For you: one sharp, front-facing photo of an adult, face and shoulders in good light. Your face, hair, glasses and clothes come from it.
- Hands empty in the photo: no phone, drink or cigarette. The scene gives you the mug.
- Your expression comes through: a small smile makes the best 'everything is fine' face.
- One adult per photo (18+): you, or someone who said yes. Never a child or a stranger's photo.
Who to cast
- Your dog, the calmest one in any crisis
- Your cat, who has never once panicked
- You, on a Monday morning
- The friend whose group project is due tomorrow
- Your manager, with their yes, during the reorg

What is the This Is Fine meme?
A two-panel picture from KC Green's webcomic Gunshow (2013): a cartoon dog in a hat sits at a table with a mug while the room burns around it, and says 'This is fine.' People post it about anything that is clearly not fine: exams, work, the news. Here you make a short video of the same scene starring your own pet or you.
How do I put my dog in the This Is Fine meme?
1. Pick Your pet. 2. Upload one clear daylight photo of your dog, face to the camera. 3. In about a minute you see a free preview still: your dog at the little table, mug in front of it, room on fire. 4. If you like it, make the 5-second video for 100 credits ($6.99). 5. Post it and add the words 'This is fine' as text in TikTok, Reels or CapCut.
Can I put myself in the This Is Fine meme?
Yes: pick You and upload one sharp, front-facing photo of an adult. You sit at the table in your own clothes, lift the mug for a slow sip while the room burns, and look back at the camera. Your face, hair and glasses come from your photo, and so does your expression, so a small smile works best.
Is it free?
The preview still is free, so you see your pet or yourself in the scene before you pay. The video is 100 credits ($6.99), 5 seconds.
Does the video say 'This is fine'?
No. The video has no caption or speech bubble, so it stays clean and you can add the line (or your own twist on it) as text when you post. Most people put it at the top of the screen.
Is it the cartoon dog from the comic?
No. It's a real-looking video of your own pet or you, not the drawn dog and not his hat. Your dog or cat keeps its own coat, markings, ears and eyes. The comic is KC Green's work; we only recreate the scene: a calm figure, a little table, a mug and a room on fire.
Does it work with cats?
Yes. Pick Your pet and upload a clear photo of your cat; it sits up at the table, leans down to the mug for a sip and looks back at you. One animal per photo works best.
Is the fire scary for the pet?
No. The flames stay on the walls and the smoke stays up under the ceiling; your pet (or you) sits calmly in a clear space round the table and never flinches. It's a joke about staying calm, not a disaster clip.
