If you've been browsing the Internet much over the last year or two, you've probably seen numerous references to a stark image of an emaciated man captioned with the message “Look At Me, I'm The Captain Now.” Mostly used in political discussions on sites like Reddit and 9GAG, the image has been growing in popularity since it was first used in 2013. So what exactly is this somewhat baffling meme, and where did it come from?
