About
It's Pride Month, You Know What That Means or It Is Pride Month, Walter refers to a series of redraw memes in which one character in the webcomic tells another, "It is Pride Month, you know what that means," and the other responds with confusion, failing to understand how Pride Month effects the task at hand. The original version of the meme was posted to Tumblr in July 2022 and depicts Gustavo Fring from Breaking Bad saying the line to Walter White, who asks Fring if he wants them to make "gay meth."
