Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a phone screenshot of an Instagram story reposting a two-panel wojak meme. On the left, a crying, open-mouthed woman drawn in a manga style is captioned "BABE PLEASE HAVE SEX WITH ME I'M SO HORNY." On the right, a bearded "Chad" figure in headphones ignores her, captioned "HOW DOES IT GET BETTER EVERY TIME?" beside a Seinfeld DVD cover showing the show's four leads. The joke is a man too absorbed in rewatching a sitcom to notice anything else. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
