The original panel shows a man peering through a window saying \"YES... HA HA HA... YES!\" with a \"SICKOS\" label on his shirt. The comic was about a specific political context, but the internet stripped that away and repurposed the panel as a universal reaction for enjoying something you probably should not be enjoying. The combination of voyeuristic glee and the self-aware \"SICKOS\" label makes it perfect for admitting you are the problem.","format":"classic","howToMake":["Load the Sickos template with the black and white comic panel","Top text describes the chaos, disaster, or event you are watching with glee","The \"YES...
