Nujak, also known as Nujack and Nu Wojak, is a series of illustrations featuring a cartoonish depiction of the MS Paint character Wojak, which has been widely accused of being a forced meme on various 4chan boards.
Origin

I have seen the thread, but I just can't tell Did he geniunely just want to share his art with people? Did he try to create a new meme? Was it a ploy to destroy Wojak from the inside out?
