This is one of the first memes I saved. I don’t believe I ever posted it. Pepe was just starting to be a symbol of bad boys. Some of the issues have changed but overall this image has held up well. It probably came out sometime in 2016 after HRC had a seizure on 9/11 and was thrown into her limo like a “side of beef.” This was also an early instance of Pepe wearing a warm blanket and feeling comfortable and well-satisfied. Him being huge compared to the beaten man echoes a technique used in many artistic traditions, China’s being one of them, where the most important figure is also conspicuously the largest. ABN
