Obituary

Doge was a Shiba Inu named Kabosu photographed in 2010, rendered in Comic Sans with internal monologue: 'wow,' 'such meme,' 'very internet.' It conquered the web by 2013 and never really left — it simply ascended into finance. The doge we buried in 2016 was the pure one, the one that existed before its own face became a stock ticker. Kabosu herself lived to 2025, long enough to watch her own photograph be traded on exchanges. She is not buried here. She doesn't need to be.
