Lemons

This meme has been around for a while. On September 19th, 2019, Twitter user @PetrichorCrown posted artwork of a cat tasting a lemon, causing their face to retract, with the caption “Am I a comic artist now?”.

From there, as things tend to do on the internet, the meme went wild. At “Know Your Meme,” it’s referred to as “Thour.” I thought I’d share a few examples – some of them are quite clever.

Millepede –> Pill Bug
Don’t know this character
This is my reaction as well.
An early entry
Eevee gets in on the action
An especially clever entry
I am woefully behind the times on pop culture. A hazard of growing older.
Greyhounds are funny animals anyway.
Should I know who this is?
This one is very old school. By the way, did you pay for it?
Now we’re getting into the realm of the bizarre.
And more meta still
Play the reverse card and you get…
This creature must have super powers
But not everyone has the same reaction to lemons.
This one is extraordinarily dark – click to reveal the image

The Charmander Conspiracy

Take one Pokemon, one impaired dude (no judgment, mate, seriously – we all do silly stuff now and then), and a community of delightfuly batshit-crazy redditors, and you have an explosion of recursive, gentle insanity that shows no sign of stopping.

Charmander

This is Charmander. He’s a cute Pokemon creature.

This is Charmander as envisioned by Vaughn Pinpin over at Hat Boy, in the style of Tim Burton.

This is the result when you try to tattoo this on yourself, while fuzzed with alcohol and Xanax, and pretty much zero art skills.

This is what happens when you post said tattoo to reddit, and stuff gets real in a hurry. Above: Digitized version of the tattoo.

How many are beginning to feel about this whole thing…

And the beat goes on. Mind you, all of this went down in just a couple of days; who knows how many levels deep this inception-like mind-twister will go?

As for me, I’m curious to see how long this lasts.
