I'm encouraging you to do your memes in dark. I copied you so that it fits better.
Also, parallel development isn't copying. You have good instincts to resolve conflict, but don't apologize for a great idea, if you just happen to be late to it.
Limited submissions are to encourage you to;
1. explore and submit to new categories
2. look at the steams to view and vote on memes
3. spread your meme genius to the comment sections.
This has potential, but this is not quite the right template for the joke.
The punch line is a rim check with that last panel. Your intuition is solid. The setup is just awful.
