Imagine telling the original artist right after they finished it that in 113 years time people would be posting his/her creation in full color and high fidelity on a communications system that instantly made it accessible to anyone in the world. That would completely blow their mind.
Now imagine also telling them the situation in the meme is the same or worse 113 years later and they will cry.
Them: "What's a meme?"
A joke reminding people of a shared experience. It gets really good in the internet age.
