Just curious... When did regular comics become memes?
Around the time meme came to mean any joke in an image file format
Gary Larson was my favorite memer. Ever seen The Far Side memes?
See? Doesn't sound right at all.
Oh come on, who doesn't remember reading the meme strips in the Sunday morning paper?
When I got older I started enjoying meme books like Spider-Man, too.
This is some Idiocracy shit, I feel like this'll be the vernacular in the next 20-30 years. Hopefully an asteroid wipes us out first.
Paper? You mean hard copy website?
It doesn't, and it's annoying that pretty much any image displayed online is called a "meme" nowadays.
Always has been by both the official definition of the word and the more modern internet use of it
That's not really true though.
Now that I think about it, maybe they always have been, sort of? The earliest memes I remember are the rage comics
Though, I feel like "meme" = funny relatable thing nowadays.
About the time Saruman abandoned reason for madness.
We must join the memes, Gandalf. It would be wise, my friend.
