As we passed through the Samuel Johnson room, one of the students saw his portrait and said “Is that the guy from the meme?”

It made me so happy—his memory truly is immortal!

@overholt Obligatory Reddit (about a different painting, still Johnson tho) which is amusing. Especially all the sincerely earnest folks being like "Yeah he's a real famous guy actually..." https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/bns0ap/found_the_original_painting_of_the_what_the_fuck/
Found the original painting of the “What the fuck am I reading?” meme guy inside a Scottish castle
