# Come Underneath The Blanket Come Underneath The Blanket is an exploitable webcomic format where a couple lies in bed, the man invites the woman under the blanket, and the fourth panel reveals something comedic glowing underneath. Originally drawn by artist Pisi Pop in August 2020, the format went viral after someone replaced the romantic fourth panel with glow-in-the-dark dinosaurs, spawning countless variations across Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram through 2021. ## Origin On August 24, 2020, Instagram page pisipopmx (run by artist Pisi Pop) posted the original comic. It depicted a naked pink-haired girl and a blue-haired boy lying in bed, kissing, then going under the covers. The fourth panel showed them floating together in a starry space scene, meant to illustrate their intimacy. The comic picked up over 3,200 likes within about a year[2]. Sometime after the original post, Facebook repost page Oriev Alejandro created a modified version that replaced the romantic fourth panel with glow-in-the-dark dinosaurs and added the caption text "come underneath the blanket, I got something to show you." This edit appears to have been deleted from the original page, but the "ORIEV" watermark stuck around on many subsequent reposts[2]. On September 4, 2020, Twitter user Varanis_Ridari shared the dinosaur version, which became the highest-engagement variation of the meme[2]. - **Platform:** Instagram (original comic), Facebook (exploitable format) - **Creator:** Pisi Pop (original comic artist), Oriev Alejandro (exploitable dinosaur version) - **Date:** 2020 ## Overview The meme follows a four-panel webcomic structure. In the first three panels, a pink-haired woman and a blue-haired man are lying in bed together. The man asks her to "come underneath the blanket" because he has "something to show" her. The setup implies a romantic or sexual encounter, but the fourth panel subverts expectations by showing something silly, wholesome, or nerdy glowing under the covers instead[2]. The most iconic version replaces the original fourth panel with glow-in-the-dark dinosaurs, setting the tone for the format's humor. The joke works because of the contrast between the suggestive buildup and the innocent, enthusiastic punchline. Creators swap in whatever object they find funny or relatable, from tabletop gaming dice to anime characters, making it a flexible template for niche communities[2]. ## How It Spread The exploitable format picked up steam through late 2020 and into 2021 as different online communities adapted it. On September 5, 2021, a Redditor posted a version to r/dndmemes swapping in glow-in-the-dark dice, pulling over 20,000 upvotes within a year[2]. Interest spiked again around October 2021. On October 25, Twitter user kusodima posted a Genshin Impact redraw where the character Itto shows off glowing bugs under the blanket, though the post was later deleted[2]. The format hit its biggest raw numbers in early November 2021. On November 2, Facebook page "I've been autistic all along?" shared the classic dinosaur version, earning over 3,100 shares and 6,300 reactions in three weeks. The same day, Instagram page meme.ig reposted it and racked up over 129,000 likes in the same timeframe[2]. Each community that adopted the template brought its own twist. D&D fans used dice, anime fans drew their favorite characters, and various hobby groups plugged in whatever nerd obsession fit the joke. ## How to Use The format is simple to remix: 1. Keep the first three panels intact (or redraw them in your own style). The setup is the couple in bed with the man inviting the woman under the blanket. 2. Replace the fourth panel with whatever object, scene, or interest you want to show off. The item typically glows or is illuminated, keeping with the "under the blanket" visual. 3. Add the caption text "come underneath the blanket, I got something to show you" above the panels, or let the images speak for themselves. ## Fun Facts - The "ORIEV" watermark visible on many versions of the meme traces back to the Facebook page Oriev Alejandro, even though the original post there appears to have been deleted[2]. - The original Pisi Pop comic was meant to be genuinely romantic, not comedic. The meme format only emerged when someone replaced the space-kissing panel with dinosaurs[2]. - The meme's biggest single post in terms of raw likes was on Instagram page meme.ig, which hit over 129,000 likes from a single repost in November 2021[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Come Underneath The Blanket?
