THE LEGEND OF MARTIN
The Birth of a Legend
Back in 2005, before Pepe became the meme king, Matt Furie posted multiple pictures of Martin (The Geico Gecko) on his MySpace page. These were the first posts ever on his page, marking the beginning of what would become the Pepe phenomenon.
Extensive research through news coverage from that time period revealed a news article from 2008 in which Martin was explicitly named as the original inspiration to Pepe. This historical evidence confirms Martin's role as the true inspiration behind the iconic meme character.
