The Pepe Holding Sign meme is a variation of the iconic Pepe the Frog character, originally created by Matt Furie in his 2005 comic series Boy's Club. This specific iteration depicts Pepe holding a blank white board or placard, providing a perfect canvas for users to voice their thoughts, hot takes, or humorous declarations. While Pepe has a long and complex history across various internet subcultures, the 'Holding Sign' format is widely used for meta-commentary and direct messaging. It remains a staple on platforms like Reddit and X as a simple yet effective way to communicate a pointed message using one of the internet's most recognizable faces.
