About

Today, I Did Poorly is an exploitable webcomic that expresses the temptations that result in procrastination throughout the day.

Origin

On December 5th, 2016, Owlturd Comix^[1] posted a comic that illustrates how a day is like a burger, with the "waking up" and "going to bed" as the bun. The comic goes on to show how things like working, exercising and having a social life are the veggies. However, the comic's punchline shows that the meat of the day is Netflix, and the only character in the comic says, "Today, I did poorly." The post (shown below) received more than 83,000 notes in a year and a half.

Spread

On May 29th, 2017, Instagram ^[2] user @memes.sf9 posted a photoshopped version of the comic in which "Netflix" is replaced by the logo K-Pop group SF9. The post (shown below, left) received more than 325 likes in one year.

Several months later, on September 6th, Tumblr ^[3] user calamity-on-cassette posted a version in which the burger reads "Camp Camp," referring to the animated web series.The post (shown below, center) received more than 450 notes in nine months.

On May 3rd, 2018, Redditor ^[4] Parlur94 posted a variation in the /r/dankmemes subreddit in which the burger reads "heroin." The post (shown below, right) received more than 15,000 points (94% upvoted) and 150 comments in 12 hours.
