[Image description : 4 Panel comic. Panel 1: A Dora the explorer ripoff wearing a fedora and with the fedora logo on her t-shirt is smiling at the viewer. The caption "Fedora the explorer" is over her head. Panel 2: She speaks to a vaguely anthropomorphic chameleon: "Hello Opensuse !" He replies : "Hi Fedora!" Panel 3: OpenSuse Says: "Someone has been using your code while not freely providing theirs despite the GPL licence!" Panel 4: Fedora "Hmmm... Who could it be?" A fox wearing a red hat emerges from a bush in the background. End ]

Thanks! Now, to defend the memeticity of my creation:

A cartoon can be a meme if it contains memetic elements that get reused across several memes by different creators (cf: the rage comics).

This comic contains text. Languages and alphabets are memes. Therefore, it counts as a meme.

Checkmate.

(Also, since "meme" comes from the greek word "mimeme" (to imitate), including an imitation of Dora the Explorer is also memetic; even moreso since it's been done many times)

(Also, given the way it spreads through sharing, copying and modifying, Linux can also be considered a meme. Since the sharing part is mostly through the internet, it fits an even narrower definition of "internet meme", therefore a cartoon about Linux can definitely be considered a meme)

Sure, artist gets to choose... I guess this is an example of cartoon being a subset of meme then, on the internet even :)

Not to be mistaken with lady Integra the Explorer, a once kinda famous movie star that regards herself as beautiful. Is also a zombie now, and (still) blue.
