Tintin - Absolutely Identical Meme Template
About this meme
This two-panel template is taken from the 1934 comic Cigars of the Pharaoh from the Adventures of Tintin series by Hergé. In the scene, the young reporter Tintin examines two cigars and discovers they are perfectly identical, uncovering a major plot point. In meme culture, it is the definitive visual for calling out two things that are indistinguishable, highlighting a lack of innovation, or exposing a rebranding that hasn't actually changed the product.
- Panel 1 (Left): Tintin carefully inspects a box of cigars, representing The Investigation, The Skeptic, or The Consumer.
- Panel 2 (Right): A first-person view of two cigars held side-by-side, representing The Comparison or The Marketed Options.
- The Text: "Yes, they're absolutely identical," serves as the punchline that confirms The Redundancy.
