THE ORIGIN STORY

HOW MEMES WERE BORN

A comic-panel history of the internet's original sin

1837

TOPFFER INVENTS COMICS

Rodolphe Töpffer of Geneva creates the first sequential comic strip — panels + pictures + story. The original format of visual storytelling.

1900s

PICTURES + PANELS = MEME FORMAT

Newspapers spread comic strips worldwide. Humans learn to process emotion through sequential images. The visual grammar of the internet is born — 100 years early.

2005+

INTERNET MEMES EXPLODE

4chan, Reddit, Twitter. The panel format returns. Pepe. Doge. Trollface. Wojak. Humanity finds its natural language again — exactly as Töpffer designed.

2020+

CRYPTO DEGENERATES APE IN

Memes become money. Doge. Pepe. Floki. The internet's visual language gets financialized. Every meme format traces back to one man's sketchbook.

NOW

$TOPF — THE OG MEME COIN

We trace the lineage back to source. Before Pepe. Before Doge. Before the internet. Before it all — there was Rodolphe. $TOPF is the coin of the father.
