Slopfest #87 · 2013 · Vienna

Much Slop. Very Quantity. Wow.

A Shiba Inu surrounded by Comic Sans became the meme of the year. We printed the program in Comic Sans.

#87Filed under "Q" for "quality". We never look there.

What happened

All signage was done in Comic Sans, broken English and five colors, and it turned out to be the best wayfinding the festival ever had. 'Such bar. Very left.' The committee also launched a joke currency that evening, Slopcoin, which was never listed anywhere and is therefore the only coin from 2013 that has held its value exactly.

Elsewhere in 2013

The Doge meme, a Shiba Inu photo captioned in broken English and Comic Sans, peaks. Dogecoin launches as a joke in December.
