Next year's Internet memes, illustrated by Wondermark

Today's Wondermark webtoon invites us to think beyond "ninja monkey robots fighting pirate Jesus" and imagine what next year's Internet memes might be. Link (Thanks, Carol!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

In the case of “This Guy”, he’s actually last year’s internet meme. Of course, being in the past, he’s known as “That Guy”

Let’s not forget hoboes. Are people tired of them yet? How about crazy tribal elders?
