Sounds like you have seen some plapjaks that are like comic strips, with dialouge bubbles. I am also responsible for those.
I made plapjak during a period of neeting, so I had plenty of time for creative pursuits. I had a vision of making a webcomic about an asocial schizoid trying to get laid on tinder and building a rotation of psychologically damaged women. I'm not a trained artist, so I had to rely on easy techniques like tracing, stock images, and wojak faces to make anything passable. I didn't end up committing to this project, but the comic idea is the reason I made the original plapjak in the first place, and the comic style plapjaks come from the unfinished strips.
The faces are pretty important to the meme, how he is staring expressionlessly and she is unhappy. When I made the first plapjak and posted it, I did not even think about the faces. I simply copied and pasted existing wojak faces onto the trace and didn't even notice the humor until other people pointed out how funny/sad/etc the expressions were. The magic was all accidental, but I did take the feedback into account when making more. There never
Picrel is one of my early plapjaks, and it was the first one I tried to insert a message into. It didn't get much attention or reposts, so I went back to making more wojak x fat girl.
Calling it a gloomy, self-reflective soap opera is a good way to put it. I'm glad you can look at all the plapjaks and feel some sense of continuity between them, like they take place in the same world. That would have been the tone of the comic, so it's cool that the ghost of the unfinished project escaped my hard drive and haunts the internet.
