-web

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Given that the author was genuinely inspired by something he lived (it's never been cleared up for me whether he had a girlfriend experience miscarriage or what), I never really understood the vicious and now eternal mockery. Just goes to show the community...

The meme itself is wonderfully elegant! It's a reduction of the original comic to its simplest form. The sort of shit that should evolve over the course of centuries gets done in a few weeks in the Internet primordial soup. I could write it thus and I reckon it's still recognizable : I Ii II I_

Each bar represents a character in the otherwise silent comic. And is usually presented in a two by two pattern to reflect the comic layout. But it's been deconstructed to much it'd still work as I've rendered it above.
