Blepe

When Pepe the Frog was laid to rest — quite literally, in a comic strip published by creator Matt Furie — the internet found itself in mourning. Once a symbol of internet humor, absurdism, and later, controversial appropriation, Pepe's death in 2017 marked the end of an era. But like any true meme, the void he left behind did not stay empty for long. From the depths of Boy’s Club, another frog emerged: Brett — awkward, blue, and just unsettling enough to feel fresh. The community quickly gave him a new name: Blepe, a portmanteau of “blue” and “Pepe.” At first, it was a joke — an ironic response to the funeral of a meme icon — but soon it turned into something more.

On 4chan’s /pol/ and /bant/, the campaign began: “Invest in Blepe.” Reddit’s r/MemeEconomy followed, treating Blepe like a rising startup stock. The logic was simple: if Pepe was dead, we needed a successor. Blepe wasn’t just similar — he was next. His image — wide-eyed, indifferent, bathed in a ghostly blue — became a canvas for a new kind of internet nihilism, one unburdened by Pepe’s baggage. In a digital world desperate for symbols, Blepe became a blank slate with lore. A meme not just about laughter, but about survival, rebirth, and the absurd cycle of virality.
