I Loathe Every Person I See On The Street / R. Crumb Comic

About

I Loathe Every Person I See On The Street is a panel from a Robert Crumb comic where a short, sniveling character named "Snoid" expresses his dislike of a heedless "Normal Guy." The comic is often edited to change the words or labels on both characters and is used in a manner similar to the Chad vs. Virgin meme.

Origin

Robert Crumb created the character "Snoid," a diminutive sex fiend and unlikable presence, in the 1960s, and published a comic book dedicated to the figure in 1979 called Snoid Comics.^[1] According to TinEye, some early digital reposts of the comic can be traced to Tumblr in August 2022.^[6]
