About

Ok, So Basically Im Very Smol is an image macro series based on an image of a news crew putting a microphone to a puppy's mouth as if about to interview the dog. Following the original Tumblr post in 2015, users added the text "ok, so basically I'm very smol" to the image. It has since been used in a series of image edits.
