THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week in Memes - February 18-24 Edition

This week gave us a little bit of everything. We started with some sad news about a former President,  continued with a three-day weekend, added a day of over-indulgence, then followed up with the beginning of  the most solemn season on the Christian calendar.  If that weren't enough, Madonna defended her "facial enhancement" on social media, and South Park made fun of Harry and Meghan. Phew! How did the internet respond to such a bounty of meme-worthy events? Let's see.

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week in Memes

There are plenty of reasons to leave the popular social media platforms, but there is one powerful reason to stay. The funniest people you've never heard of post quips and memes, gifs and tic tocs that can make even the most mundane things amusing. When life gives us lemons, leave it to the folks at Twitter to turn them into delightful twists of irony that add zest to even the dreariest culture-war cocktails. This week, there were more than enough events to keep the socials blowing up.
