About Running Away Balloon
The Running Away Balloon meme is a two-panel exploitable webcomic featuring a character reaching for a yellow balloon while another character pulls them back. It is commonly used to represent goals, opportunities, or desires being held back by personal limitations or everyday obstacles.
The original comic was posted by webcomic artist Superlmer on April 21, 2017. The balloon is labeled “opportunities”, while the pink character pulling the figure back is labeled “shyness.” Later edits replace these labels with different goals, obstacles, and situations.
