Spent 45 minutes trying to figure out why everyone was posting pictures of a sad frog

Kept seeing this green frog looking depressed with the word 'Pepe' everywhere. Turns out it's some old internet character that got weird. Anyone know why it came back this month?

My friend thought it was a new mental health mascot?

Wait, what did they see that made them think that? Like, was it a weird ad or some random character on a poster? I gotta know the specific thing that looked like a mental health mascot. Was it supposed to be something else entirely and they just totally misread it? That's the kind of mix-up that makes for a great story.

So was it a cartoon animal on a bus ad or some abstract blob on a community board? The specific design matters here. I need to know if it was a failed corporate logo or a poorly drawn squirrel from a park clean up flyer. Your friend's brain made a wild leap and the original image must have been truly vague.
