I got curious about how old this meme was, so off to knowyourmeme.com I went, and then went down an unexpected rabbit hole. The creator of this meme started the website cheezburger.com, who bought knowyourmeme itself like a decade ago, and he also was involved in facebooks crypto attempt (Libra). Pretty wild stuff!

I think I still have one of the books they made sitting in my room somewhere. Must've bought it at least 12 years ago.

I’m pretty sure this meme originated in 1973.
