It probably isn't, pepe the frog is a copyrighted character.

Isn't pepe from a webcomic?

Glad this is happening. I hope that it keeps on happening. This sort of shit expunges every meme and cancerous reaction image in a fell swoop. Once normies capitalize and 'ruin' 4chan's precious maymays, anons will no longer wish to use them.

And that's a fucking fantastic prospect.

It'll come down to general similarites and colour palette. If it's deemed 'close enough' to the original, it's infringement. Also, seeing as the comic is the source material for Pepe, it'd probably be hard for them to get around that. If they're making zero money from it, they'll get away with it.

Smug Pepe is specifically an edit of sad Pepe.
Sad Pepe is not an edit of feels good man Pepe.
That's why I said "drawn with a smile." It's an edit specifically of sad Pepe. The two are similar but not edits of each other.

It's actually pretty nice to sit because when you stand up, little piss sprinkles shoot out everywhere. If you take a piss in shorts or boxers, you would know that feel, and it's unpleasant.

I've almost considered sitting because half of the time I piss in two streams going in completely different directions (sometimes even backwards) that can be impossible to get both in the bowl. I already never use a trough and just wait for a cubicle

I sit to piss because the initial piss spray is way too erratic to not miss the bowl. I wish home urinals were a thing.
Usually I just piss in the parkland I travel through returning home

To understand art, you have to realize the underlying cultural context. It all originated from a collective image of Pepe and Wojack. On their first images you can see them together, you can feel some sort of agreement and understanding between the two. Let's call it "classic meme" period.
You can see how the "story" behind the picture is gradually growing more complex, going from a simple image of Wojack hugging Pepe to slightly more elaborate scenarios. Those are 1-panel comics, aimed to elicit emotional response from the viewer.
>>
>>320232382
This. We should always give out our memes to normies so we can pump out new ones at a faster rate and get higher meme profits.

As time goes on, changes occur, and the art direction of Wojack and Pepe shift into a new plane, "modern", or maybe it'd be better to name it "meme-neuvau". The designs grow more complex, building upon the already established qualities of both characters. Memes become more grotesque, absurd. There is now a distinct hint of irony in the genre, as if the artist is trying to say "You want more Pepe? HERE, TAKE IT, CHOKE ON IT!". Using the initial sadness of both characters, new period welcomes the dialogues of artists themselves, mainly centred around meme-creating.

>>320234617


Which brings us to the final, third period, "post-modern". As the meme itself grows older, artists try to find new ways of conveying the initial message. One of such ways is emotional contrast - Pepe and Wojack interact in ways that elicit the opposite response. When you take a closer look at these memes, you see the same thing as before, only it affects you in a different manner. Now one of the characters is portrayed as "evil" or despicable. You can see the artist throwing down the challenge to his viewers, saying: "Oh so you're tired of old memes? Want something new and fresh? HERE!"
