RedPanels was a racist, sexist, homophobic, islamophobic, and particularly antisemitic webcomic, which centered on bravely taking pot shots at absurd "liberal" strawmen.
It described itself as the "Red Pill in Webcomic Form"[1] and actively promoted the alt-right.[2] It came to some attention when Richard Spencer (a noted non-Nazi) tweeted a cartoon about how concentration camps started because people just wouldn't stop punching (totally-not-)Nazis.[3][4] RedPanels ended on 2017 February 02, citing monetary reasons; the last panel fittingly consisted of a Hitlergruß given in deference to Trump and the Meme Nazis.[5][6]
The whole production is basically one, big neo-Nazi themed easter egg hunt — even Redpanel's CSS stylesheet just happens to be titled "stylesheet88.css".[7] Whatever could that be a reference to?
MEIN FÜHRER!! I CAN DRAW!!
The owner (who styles himself as "Red"[8]) seems reluctant to identify himself. RedPanels.com is registered with WhoIsGuard, which enables Red to list no personal information on his ICANN forms.[9] We at RationalWiki cannot imagine why a Nazi would prefer anonymity. The developer of RedPanels' Android app is Mike Carter (@devicroft_);[10][11][12] it is improbable that Red and Mike Carter are one and the same.[13]

StoneToss
After being memed to death by antifascists, Red launched another online webcomic that is 10 times uglier, and is currently known as StoneToss.
