The 'Hmm Today I Will' meme, featuring the minimalist stick figure known as 'Boye,' originated on 4chan's /v/ board in 2011. The comic typically follows a rigid two-panel structure: the first panel shows Boye stating a mundane or optimistic intention beginning with the titular phrase, while the second panel illustrates a disastrous, surreal, or ironically tragic consequence. Originally a spin-off of the classic rage comic era, it underwent a massive resurgence in the late 2010s as a centerpiece of 'ironic' and 'post-ironic' internet humor. Its appeal lies in its crude MS Paint aesthetic and its ability to capture the universal human experience of walking blindly into inevitable failure.
