About

Why Do You Always Wear That Mask? refers to a 2016 webcomic by Shen Comix. In the comic, Shen asks a person wearing a mask that reads "ANGER," "Hey Anger, why do you always wear that mask?" He then lifts the mask off the person's face, revealing the word "SADNESS." Shen puts the mask back down, deciding it's better that way.
