Me to Me On 6 November 2016 Twitter user @AaaghAndrew posts a still from Disney's Muppets Most Wanted (2014). Kermit faces his evil twin Constantine, wearing a black hood. The image is captioned me: should I go to bed at a reasonable hour? me to me: throw away your responsibilities, establishing the inner-monologue template. Within seventy-two hours the template is the canonical visual for intrusive thoughts. Disney never sends a cease-and-desist. 02. Inner Demon as Image Macro Evil Kermit replaces the angel-and-devil-on-shoulder convention of twentieth-century cartoons with a single image stripped of moral framing. The hooded twin always wins. The format remains in active rotation through 2024.
