We continue our countdown of the 100 favorite posts from 2023, but first, a PSA:
Tomorrow I’ll be doing a live Q&A chat (and probably make memes in real time) around the College Football Playoffs at 3pm ET / noon PT, alongside Cody Alexander , Madeline Hill , and Split Zone Duo . To join, just make sure you are subscribed to ArtButMakeItSports , download the Substack app , and you'll get a notification when we go live.
Madeline - whose newsletter Impersonal Foul is excellent and you should subscribe immediately - did a piece on the account earlier this year (below) which I really enjoyed.
Alright, memes!
