In terms of weeks, this was a relatively quiet one if you don’t count the looming  debt-ceiling crisis, the G-7 Summit, a couple of large earthquakes off the Pacific, and the continued panic over the potential woke-a-fication of the United States. In the world of reality TV, Real Housewife Theresa Guidice got married, Blake Shelton hung up his The Voice cowboy hat after 23 seasons, and RFK Jr continues to build alliances with anti-vaxxers and Q-Anoners. Of course, the biggest news is that the world has lost a true Queen. Tina Turner passed away at 83. RIP to simply the best. Let’s see how the memers handled the important news.

This was some week! Naturally, there were tragic shooting deaths in the US still unstopped by the mysterious Good Guy With a Gun. April left the building,  but not before dousing us in ice-cold showers. We lost the legendary troubadour, Gordon Lightfoot. Beyond all that, there were events that brought out the best in memes and social media commentary. Let’s take a peek. 

THE FUNNY PAPERS: The Week In Memes - April 22-28

What a week! Sadly, we lost three famous gentlemen: one who brought us the glorious Dame Edna, Barry Humphries;  one who introduced us to the daytime circus, Jerry Springer; and the one who gifted us with beautiful music, Harry Belefonte. Someone infamous also passed this week, but we'll let her endure her final justice anonymously. So, what else is new? Well, let's check in on the scuttlebutt, shall we?

I hope you all had a better week than Elon Musk. Between Twitter becoming less relevant by the hour and the explosion of the latest SpaceX rocket, the poor man must be sobbing into hankies sewn from thousand-dollars bills.
