End of an era... An era nobody was aware existed

4-panel comic about the discontinuation of Microsoft Publisher

This is a 4-panel comic meme joking about the discontinuation of Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft's little-used desktop publishing app. In the first panel, the Grim Reaper comes to collect the dying Microsoft Publisher, saying 'It's time to go'. In the second panel, the innocent Publisher (represented by its logo, with a halo) asks 'Was I a good app?'. In the third panel, the Grim Reaper replies bluntly, 'I don't even know who the fuck you were'. In the fourth panel, the Grim Reaper leads Publisher into the afterlife river. The joke relies on the widely known fact that almost no one ever used or even remembered Microsoft Publisher existed, even though it was included in some Microsoft Office bundles for decades.

This meme originates from Reddit, created as a joke following Microsoft's official announcement that they would discontinue Microsoft Publisher after decades of low usage. The original creator is marked with the watermark 'seebangnow' at the bottom right of the comic, and it has circulated widely across social media as a relatable joke about forgotten Microsoft software.
