It all started out innocently enough: A cartoon of a stoned humanoid frog named Pepe peeing into a toilet began circulating the internet amongst artists and weight lifters alike, as they echoed to his simple and relatable statement that [it] "Feels Good, Man." But when nice-guy Matt Furie uploaded his innocuous comic strip to Myspace in 2008, little did he know he would unexpectedly and accidentally change the course of life as we knew it...literally. When the virginal demons of 4Chan got their grubby little Cheeto-logged paws on the Pepe the Frog cartoon, they did what they do with most things, like relationships & job opportunities: Ruined it! They began manipulating images of the dopey frog to promote things like violence & hatred towards women and minorities, which spread like wildfire and were eventually adopted as a symbol of the "Alt-Right" white supremacists that mobilized to get Donald Trump elected. Join us as we go on the campaign trail to free Pepe from the clutches of the oppressors, fighting for his right to drawn as the bong-tokin', pizza-eatin', peace-lovin' dude he was meant to be!
