Nate thank you for these!

I think it's pretty clear what meaning is conveyed by these, but can you tell us about the name "Drake Memes" and where that comes from?

Certainly! So, 'Drake' is a 30-something, Canadian musician. The author of the original meme took two images from a music video, and stacked them to express preference. For example, we might use the template to insert a picture of Marcus Aurelius at the top, and Thomas Jefferson at the bottom. The following website provides a more thorough explanation with examples: [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/drakeposting]

Hiram, that's great! Thank you!

I hope we get some mileage out of the memes.

I'll keep making them, regardless.

Sometimes mileage takes time to accumulate but all your Epicurean meme and graphic work is going to bear fruit, Nate!
