>But Furie told As It Happens host Carol Off that the despite the headlines declaring Pepe's demise, fans haven't seen the last of him.
>"The end is a chance for a new beginning," Furie said. "I got some plans for Pepe that I can't really discuss, but he's going to rise from the ashes like a phoenix ... in a puff of marijuana smoke."
>"I think to truly understand Pepe as a cultural phenomenon, you have to understand him outside of myself as an artist. Pepe's popularity has grown on the internet because of everybody's kind of collaborative remixing and reinterpreting and resharing him on the internet," Furie said.
>"So, I as the creator of Pepe, you know, was just doing a little bit of art therapy for myself in laying him to rest."
>"If you're listening to this and you're interested in the story — and especially if you have some kind of political sway or anything like that — like, step in and, you now, just tell your friends, neighbours, teachers, whoever else that Pepe is a chill, loving frog," he said.
>"Every moment is an opportunity to change people's opinion, so I'm not gonna give up yet, but I'm gonna take a break, because it is some heavy stuff."

>F-Fuck off guys, h-he's just distancing from the chaos, h-he's definitely not pulling any kind of publicity stunt!!!!
Sup Forumsmblr BTFO!
Yeah, that sounds pathetic
Little did he know he created what would become the vessel for an ancient Egyptian chaos god

this should be a banner
>Kills Pepe and makes a big hoopla about it
>Proceeds to revive him shortly after
Congratulations Furie! now you are just like the big two.
On the other hand, this meme necromancy will bite him in the ass somehow.
So does this mean a new Boys Club continuation?
Now have the Alt-Right adopt all his other characters so he'll have to kill all of them off.
Then if he starts a new comic, start using those characters.
He should have capitalized years ago.
Who will be the four derivative Pepes to try (and unsuccessfully) claim to be the successor to the original before his inevitable return?
How did he even die, anyways?
>How did he even die, anyways?
Red pill overdose.
>Make Pepe sell out on Family Guy, t-shirts, Funko, Tickle me Pepes, etc
>He's no longer cool
There, solved
already on it senpai
>fans
Lol what fans?
This, just slap him on a bunch of t shirts that say 'U Mad Bro?' or something along those lines, sell it to Hot Topic and boom; Pepe destroyed.
Metal Toad, Tadpole and two others

Furie didn't give a reason
It was a single page for Fantagraphic's FCBD issue and said page was just a funeral

>my tax dollars go towards a group of overpayed, corrupt journalists seriously discussing the political stimuli of a cartoon frog used as the icon of a resurrected ancient egyptian chaos deity brought back to the modern world to smite leftist actors and comedians via pseudo-random numerical ouija on a site for the discussion of filipino picture shows
Sup Forums vs hot topic
They tried that.
They won't. They can't. Due to the media labeling him an Anti-Semitic symbol, much like how those fucking idiots fell for the OK hand gesture being a white power symbol because Sup Forums did a troll, Pepe is now completely off limits to marketing because some idiots will carry on like you slapped a swastika on your product.
...
You underestimate the power of capitalism.
I was in that /lit/ thread. /lit/ is an underrated participant in Sup Forums's meme magic.
But it's OK to be Communist, user. Stalin and Mao may both be responsible for more than double the number of deaths as Hitler, but this was somehow necessary and acceptable for the sake of progress.
What a tool.
UM WOW SHITLORD CAPITALISM KILLS WE NEED TO END CAPITALISM

Communism is a much broader label than Nazism, user. There's been hideous crimes commited by tyrants in the name of Communism but only the most hopelessly naive would consider them not acts of pure despotry.
The question is how to enact socialist principles in a fashion that empowers the individual and not those in power, since that's supposed to be the whole point of collectivism anyway. The Russian and Chinese models just became corrupt.
I can't wait for part of reddit to break out in autistic full-caps posts about it.
Fucking retarded Americans.
You mean r/Sup Forums?
>my iPhone
This is why you aren't insured under Obamacare.
Just sayan.
Just give him a new, darker and edgier look, like they did with Bomberman.
...
No, go ahead and check it out for yourself.

>puff of marijuana smoke
DUDE DRUGS LMAO
Were this druggie's comics actually famous before Sup Forums hijacked pepe? I tried reading them and the whole premise was shock humor and drawing weird images.
If your definition of fame is simply being a meme, then yes. If you mean he was well-known outside the ranks of a few thousand bored manchildren, no.
>being such a butthurt faggot people used your character in a way you didn't like so you "kill off" a character acting like that stops the memes
It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad
The only reason you won't be able to buy an unofficially licensed Pepe printed button-up tee or drop crotch joggers is that all the shitty mall retail stores which stocked that stuff will be dead inside of five years. Though I bet that cockroach of a business Spencers is already preparing the RIP SAD FROG shirts as I type this.
>DUDE WEED LMAO
>I tried reading them and the whole premise was shock humor and drawing weird images.
You complain about that on fucking Sup Forums? Where do you think you are?
They stopped selling the shirt right before I finally decided to give in and buy it.
Pepe is dead, long live Andy
But dude, they totally didn't try real Communism.
It will surely work the next time
AI enforced/enhanced communism would actually work. If you want to redistribute wealth among men, you can't have a man sitting on the throne.
Plus we could make the machines tend to the fields and make us chicken nuggets while we post on Sup Forums.
>pepe was decried as a false prophet by the normies
>he's killed by his father due to our sins
>will resurrect
Pepe is Jesus.
>how to tell how new someone is
Why do you think Sup Forums co-opted the frog, user?
he died as he lived
Fucking hell, we were joking about him rising on the third day before.
What was Furie thinking? The Artist is Dead isn't just a saying.
>commie knows his bullshit system is bullshit
>commie then is willing to hand over all power and property to a fucking omnipotent AI
WHAT
COULD
POSSIBLY
GO
WRONG?
Awoo! praise kek! shadilay!

If Sup Forumsmblr was real, this thread wouldn't be filled with Sup Forums shills.
No really, what could go wrong? I'd rather trust a machine with the power to end the world than an emotional man.
>Meme-whore out every character from Boy's Club until Furie has to kill off the entire cast
I would be annoyed to if a brony-tier political movement co-opted something I'd made too
>brony-tier
Good comparison. In both cases, no one took them seriously until they won.
lmao, what the fuck did the bronies win at? No one gives a shit about them anymore and a lot of them have moved on to other fads, which I'm sure will happen with these millennial nu-conservative types in due time too.
They have their own board. That's something.
>lmao, what the fuck did the bronies win at?
The culture wars.
Metal Toad, Cyborg Pepe, Tadpole, and Eradimander
It's a containment board user. That's not a win. It means they were so cancerous that there was a unanimous decision to segregate them.

Should be annoyed at Clinton/dems for being like "The alt-right is the enemy, this is their symbol".
Yeah it's fucking retarded how a liberal can say drinking milk makes you a nazi and then a bunch of retards start drinking milk to trigger le sjws, but the alt-right only got the boost it got because of Clinton.
Blaming Clinton is sexist you shitlord.
This
I don't know why he let it fester for so long
peepee poopoo should have clued him in
Unless he meant Bill, the cool president.
don't forget Pepe red and blue representing the red and blue pills
GODDAMN AFRICAN BOOTY SCRATCHER

Landwolf is where all fun begins and ends.

>not realizing this is his way of disassociating himself with the meme and doesn't have to deal with the political nonsense the meme has brought him
Kek, ponyfags still brag about causing butthurt 7 years later
>Sup Forums coopted pepe
Sup Forums and the internet at large has been posting sadfrog and feelsgoodman for at least ten years. No one reads Furie's comic because it's not that great and Furie himself seems like he has brain damage.
>be fat American
>don't realize the CBC is Canadian and is funded by the Canadian taxpayer
No, u
