Why Did You Blender Explode

About

Why Did You Blender Explode is a redraw trend inspired by the popular Tumblr parody account CAD-Comic, which posts edited versions of Ctrl+Alt+Del comics. After the account posted a parody in which Lucas makes Ethan's blender explode and then commands him to teleport to the woods, parodies of the post began making the rounds online after 2022.
