You've easily granted hundreds of thousands and thousands of smiles and will be paid in full cosmic glory dw 😤 You're leaving a beautiful streak of life through the stars behind no matter what you do! 😇💖
Done similar things before, not with the same kind of cultural relevance, but reminiscing on their existence and the fact that certain stuff I've done has endured and even though people will never know I was responsible, it's kept me up at night. I've since found peace, but still.
If this comic is revered for a thousand years that is more legacy than most get. Every little thing you do and contribute to world builds a larger unseen legacy that’s easy to forget.
Most people leave no legacy
Some people die in infamy
Compared to all that
I'd say this is more than enough
Really speaks to the human condition, yknow?
I feel certain that there are so many people who's days have been brightened by looking at this comic ^^ I'm one of them <3 If that truly is your "only" legacy, then it will have been a good one <3
A while after seeing the original version of this comic floating around as a meme, I found your art on twitter and never realized you were the same artist.
Thank you for giving us this one! And now I can follow you because of this masterpiece.
Personally, I would probably try to embrace it as not many people can say they moved / inspired MILLIONS of people through their creation. And you did!
Ugh. Ikr? Hate it when advertisers cringily use memes to sell their product. Too often it's just so out of touch. And it's even worse when they use memes based on webcomics, like this one or the "this is fine" dog.
Credit and payment's definitely a bigger problem. But using the meme wrong means the advertiser not only has no soul, but also has no empathy to the public either. Which is very much their job. Imagine stealing the Mona Lisa and then painting over it with feces.
legacy. what is a legacy ? planting seeds in a garden you'll never get to see, I wrote some lyrics someone will sing for me, AMERICA, YOU GREAT UNFINISHED SYMPHONY YOU SENT FOR ME !!! YOU LET ME MAKE A DIFFERENCE, A PLACE WHERE EVEN ORPHAN IMMIGRANTS CAN LEAVE THEIR FINGERPRINTS AND RISE UP I'm runn
Your legacy will be that happiness youve given to so many people. Its not just the comics its a source of expression for everyone quoting the comics as well with their own funny memes. Great work.
Never in my wildest imaginings would I have thought I'd discover the name of the originator of the comic which turned into the meme which I've seen used thousands of times and have used on occasion myself. Thanks for your creativity and inspiration!
This has also made me realise how many times I've seen this comic with the watermark edited out. I've on multiple occasions looked for one in the memes, and IT'S RIGHT THERE so no way i missed it

Damn lets go!!! ❤️❤️❤️🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥
"No. I'm dying. Please shut up just this once."
What a wonderful legacy to leave behind! It's way better than most people.
Your side quest is to be proud of your legacy, and embrace your wonderful mark on the world.
You can choose any comic, including yours.
I'd see it as an enduring piece of culture that helped shape an era on the internet.
I'm trying not to bring such negativity from there over to here, but I spent nearly 15 years there. It's hard to just pick up and walk away.

So far I've only seen that comic in those dumb merge to make game ads with freezing people and such
Your sir have graced the internet for the next decade, and you have our gratitude.

Most people won’t leave any trace at all beyond their immediate family and friends.
Hope this helps a bit.

Oh no.......I'm dead

"What is a legacy?
Legacy.
It's planting a garden you'll never see..."
Is the best my brain can do
"No I'm dying"
It's also been used in terrible mobile game ads with stupid AI voices.
Glad you're over here!
Would love to see more of your work.
This is the meme I think of every single time I'm in this situation.
