been thinking about this... did the far side and the new yorker lead us to memes?? I think yes in some way

Had to draw a courtroom scene and came across this, ripe for meme-ing: I agree. The ones with labels seem like political cartoons; the one where Adam Driver smashes his fist in the wall is more like a daily strip. It'd be funny to draw an old school grease pencil Herblock version of a meme. That arm wrestling one is halfway there already.

I don't think it qualifies as even a proto-Meme but i've been happy to see COW TOOLS coming up a lot lately. That strip broke my brain a little as a kid. The best analog to modern memes might be the NYer caption contest, right?

I don't see memes as that new of a thing. Humans have been playing memetic games for a while. These artworks are basically shitposting from 100 years ago. ...but there are many meme accounts that put out work almost like a daily strip

I need all the lore.

Hey, Kevin, I tried to register as "timhensley," but it was taken. I used to like posting on Zack Soto's old Studygroup12 message board a few decades ago, so might have a go at this one occasionally? Oh, and check out my new NFT (JK):

If you haven't seen this bit of lore, Larson reflecting on Cow Tools is a treat. As for how it's come up recently, I personally haven't seen too much mention of it but a few months back a lot of people were posting their favorite Far Side strips on Twitter. It's possible people took notice of it during that and it just kind of stuck around online? Not 100% sure on that though Attachments:
