97-years old and still relevant...
This is 2018, the digital age, a place where the internet has become the collective voice of society. And how do we use this great voice we've been given?
We make memes. Lots and lots of memes.
But, as it turns out, memes as we know them aren't anything new!
In fact they've been doing the rounds for almost a Century it would appear, and they're more or less the exact same as today as they once were.
Case in point, this comic strip from a Newspaper in 1921:

Seriously, that's something you'd expect to see while mindlessly scrolling through your news feed.
And it seems people were quite fascinated with this piece of meming-history:
We’ve been making memes for over a hundred years. We just didn’t have the internet.
