    I try to attribute artwork, but it’s hard to know who wrote a meme unless there’s an unmistakable style (like your stuff has). For example:

    There is no real way to know that I personally cobbled this meme together after googling “blue shark” and finding it utterly adorable. My personal story doesn’t matter, because it’s a meme I made to be generalized. I just want other people to feel the joy of doting over the real life blahaj.

    It’s not a feeling I own or care to own. That’s not the way I view all memes, but the way I want mine to be. I want my jokes to be retold by people who will never know me. I find it magical that we can have both highly distinctive memes that capture an individual’s personality and totally anonymized memes that capture common ideas.
