I think I'm gonna cry
Oh, I was thinking it was some kind of political compass, but yeah
WHY YOU LITTLE–
was going to ask "is this loss" without recognizing it as such but I can see I'm late again
I'm at a loss for how ingenious this is
Is this...?
This is…
Da Pope!
Took me forever, this one is sly
Wait... Is this detrimentum?
I think it's relinquish.
This one is really flying over my head. What is the joke?
I... Still don't get it. Who are the guys waving and how does that relate to the comic?
I see an imposter in frame 1
Wild. Thanks for the explanation.
The pope-arms follow the people-orientation in the original comic. I'm imagining the evolution of this meta meme and how twisted it must've been. It's like The Game but darker.
Someone else already said it's popes, as for how it relates to the comic, it's the arms.
Frame 1 = 1 arm up
Frame 2 = 2 arms up, one higher than the other
Frame 3 = 2 arms up, the same height
Frame 4 = 1 vertical arm, one horizontal arm.

The guys waving are most recent four popes. I have no idea how it relates to the comic, but other people in this thread seem to perceive a strong connection.
The position of the arms matches the position of the people in Loss.
I see it now, but.... Maybe there's a specific meme subculture that I just missed somehow. I think if there were a meta here that I was familiar with, I'd see it as funny. But, this is all new to me so it's just /shrug.
For the content that got me to understand it, it was the one with the original, but then the lines right next to it.
What an age we live in.
Get fucked!
Was there a pope before these popes? Were there cameras for that?
As they say, ‘pic or it didn’t happen’
Anybody want to clue in us who don't get it?
The arm positions are in the positions of "loss", the highly memed comic that gets simplified to one or two lines per panel.
Ah,Thanks! Never really picked up on that meme.
I am lacking the artistic vision to make this and without the comments, I wouldn't have caught on.
I am impressed.
Well played
I don't get it.
Edit: I do now. Holy shit.
I I i
I I I _
I still don't get it at all, tbh.
i dont know about this. should I? or is it too late
It's never too late; you're one of today's lucky 10,000!
It's loss.
Very holy
loss
Wait, is this...
Good gig, if you can get it...
No don't tell me dawg
Fffffuuuuu...
7f12u
Damnum.
Amissio
I don't remember exactly what it looks like, but I'm sure this is it...
With that little grin at the end this looks more like Found than Loss
