This week saw the internet go crazy over a picture of a dress that appeared to be different colors to different people. It didn’t take long for creative minds to take advantage of the situation. We had tons of people trying to explain the phenomenon, but even better were those who made it funny. As you can see here, Liz Climo used the dress perfectly for her animal characters.
Randall Munroe at xkcd explained how the phenomena worked without a word in his Friday comic. The hover text for this one is priceless. Keep reading for more.
The Houston Zoo made a reference to two memes from Thursday: the dress and the escaped llamas.
Referencing the same two stories, Dan Meth created an illustration to commemorate Buzzfeed’s biggest traffic day ever.
Redditor epwnym posted a sequence from The Matrix that inserted the dress into the drama.

Redditor Sooprman just added fuel to the fire with new Power Rangers.
It was only a matter of time before someone got a tattoo. Daniel Howland was the first, as far as we know.
