I am lacking the artistic vision to make this and without the comments, I wouldn't have caught on.

I am impressed.

Anybody want to clue in us who don't get it?

The arm positions are in the positions of "loss", the highly memed comic that gets simplified to one or two lines per panel.

I... Still don't get it. Who are the guys waving and how does that relate to the comic?

Wild. Thanks for the explanation.

The pope-arms follow the people-orientation in the original comic. I'm imagining the evolution of this meta meme and how twisted it must've been. It's like The Game but darker.

The guys waving are most recent four popes. I have no idea how it relates to the comic, but other people in this thread seem to perceive a strong connection.

I see it now, but.... Maybe there's a specific meme subculture that I just missed somehow. I think if there were a meta here that I was familiar with, I'd see it as funny. But, this is all new to me so it's just /shrug.

For the content that got me to understand it, it was the one with the original, but then the lines right next to it.

What an age we live in.

was going to ask "is this loss" without recognizing it as such but I can see I'm late again

I don't remember exactly what it looks like, but I'm sure this is it...

Was there a pope before these popes? Were there cameras for that?
