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.
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.
