There is not much of a similarity between the two memes. The only thing that is similar is the font type, which is comic sans. We are supposed to know what the cat is thinking or would say out loud. This personifies the cat. On the other hand you have the Doge which is all over the place. They are intended to be floating thoughts. I suppose that this would give the illusion that the dog is confused or not in touch with the real world? I know the intent is to be funny, but I am not sure how effective it would be. This is a whole new language as well being displayed. Is everyone going to be speaking Doge now? LOLcats have been around enough that they have been turned into their own language. Why not these Doges?

 This is very interesting though. According to the article, “ Doges don’t make pronouncements. They make vague, impressionistic connected comments.” Does this make it its own language? I’m not very into memes so maybe I am just biased by the whole thing, but it is very interesting. I think the author of the article makes this a fun read. I believe that was the intent because memes are meant to be fun. It is all about what the next best thing is on the internet. I think this will attract a new group of people considering there are people who prefer dogs over cats as well as vice verse. This quote from the article stuck out to me, and I thought it could sum up the whole passage perfectly. “Doge lets us express our dreamy, muddled thoughts in all their complexity. They let us literally represent how a picture can be worth a thousand words, rather than just a brief LOL caption.”
