a comic of an alternative drawn poker face
Poker Face is a 4panel exploitable series illustrating mostly awkward and sometimes embarrassing social situations experienced by the main character, who responds with a blank expression and a caption that reads “POKER FACE”. The comics usually use dirty situations to make them funny, like someone making love in bed or trying to do dirty-minded activities towards a woman, and when the person's caught in the act, he'll make a straight face to try to hide the awkwardness.
Origin
First appearing in 2010 on 4chan’s /b/ forum, this Rageguy was most likely rushed in development as part of /b/’s routine 4panel frenzy, which would explain why he's so poorly drawn. It eventually got a cult following and became more widespread.
Counterparts
Bad Poker Face, a counterpart of the normal Poker Face, albeit less professional.
There has been lots of Poker Face counterparts found on the internet. One example is a version of him titled "P-P-P-Poker Face" where he's dressed like Lady Gaga, which is meant to poke fun at Lady Gaga's song "Poker Face". One of the most recognizable counterparts of him is called "Bad Poker Face", where he appears more desperate than the original and even sports an awkward grin & eyebrows. Theres also a pirate version of him with an eye-patch and a hook, "Dat A** Guy" who's a slightly-perverted smiling version of Poker Face, and many other counterparts.
