About
Let There Be Ants! is a series of multi-pane exploitable comics based on the Italian Renaissance-era painting God the Father that begins with God proclaiming the creation of ants, but upon hearing a disagreeable remark from an ant, God proceeds to create ant-eaters in spite.
Origin
The original comic features God the Father, a religious painting by Italian Renaissance artist Cima da Conegliano. In the comic, God goes on to create ants and an ant saying "Awesome, thanks God!" After God created ant-eaters, the ant says ''Dude… wtf?'' One of the earliest known posts of the comic appeared on dopl3r[1] on September 16th, 2017 (shown below).
Spread
On November 25th, the image was reposted to Instagram by ifunnymeme,[2] where it gained over 51,000 likes. The same day, a thread about the format was posted to /r/MemeEconomy[5] suggesting users buy the meme as it had potential for use as a "something controversial" style exploitable (shown below).
Shortly after, exploitable variations began appearing on Reddit. On December 5th, a Trebuchet variation was posted to /r/trebuchetmemes[3] where it gained over 5,600 upvotes (shown below, left). The same day, a Traps joke was posted to /r/animemes[4] where it gained over 940 upvotes (shown below, right).
