This Is Fine Talking Figurine by KC Green

I saw this on my colleague Kehan’s Instagram and bought one immediately from Lazada for about S$23. On Shopee, it is about S$24.90, but Lazada came to around S$23 once I stacked vouchers, so it is worth checking both before you check out.

It seems that both Shopee and Lazada have sold out. Fear not, you still can get it from Amazon.sg, and it is even cheaper with shipping to Singapore.

The “This Is Fine” dog, sitting in a room that is clearly on fire, is the meme I relate to whenever I am at work.

Some background on this meme, as no one, including me, has read its historical context. The dog is Question Hound, and he comes from KC Green‘s six-panel “On Fire” strip in his webcomic Gunshow, published back in 2013.

Only the first two panels get shared around. The remaining four, where the dog’s face melts off, are the funnier half. The figurine is from RP Minis (Running Press) and went on sale on 2nd April 2024.

Besides the 3.5″ Question Hound figurine with light-up flames, you also get a 32-page full-color mini book with the complete six-panel strip and other KC Green strips.

You need a Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew the battery cover. Two AAA batteries (not included) are needed to power the figure.

Pressing the button on the back will play a 10-second audio clip featuring the “This is fine” line and a crackling fire loop with lights.

Since I can relate this meme to my work, I am going to place it on my office desk so that, in the event of a “fire”, I can turn on the figure’s light.
