About
Things That Don't Exist is a four-panel exploitable webcomic based on a comic by Sketchbook Silliness. The comic shows the three mythical beings bigfoot, fairies, unicorns and, in the original comic and its parodies, one mock addition. The comic went viral with edited variations in June 2019. The meme is very similar to Check Out This Book I Found.
Origins
On January 6th, 2016, Sketchbook Silliness[1] published the comic "Things That Don't Exist," which features "leftover bacon" in the final panel (shown below).
Spread
On June 10th, 2019, Redditor [2] jonak273 posted a variation with the phrase "people who dislike Keanu Reeves" in the fourth panel. The post received more than 40,000 points (92% upvoted) and 520 comments in about six months (shown below, left).
Later that month, on June 28th, Redditor[3] chickenslayer343 posted a version in which the final panel reads "A good, online Bethesda game." The post received more than 1,600 points (86% upvoted) and 130 comments in less than six months (shown below, center).
Over the next year, variations of the meme continued to spread throughout the Reddit and the wider internet (example below).
