About

Will We Find Intelligent Life? is an exploitable webcomic panel originally published by Poorly Drawn Lines. The comic is set up as a cosmic search for intelligent life, leading to a man on earth. In the third panel, the man says something unintelligent, and the fourth panel reads, "The search continues…"

Origin

Poorly Drawn Lines published the original version of the comic[1] on January 26th, 2015.[2] In the original version of the comic, the man says "I'm not racist, but I mean--" before the final panel says "The search continues…" (shown below).

Spread

On August 26th, a variation was uploaded to Imgur that replaced "I'm not racist, but I mean--" with "Black Lives Matter." This was likely the first post that turned the original into an exploitable.

After that post, several other variations appeared over the following two years with various images and sayings replacing the third panel. Oftentimes, the panel is used to make a political point, though there are several variations relating to video games.

Various Examples
