Dr. Frankenstein and his monster are in awe; Igor is jealous. (I was just reading Sir Terry Pratchett’s ‘Snuff’ about the Igors and Igorinas who are surgeons and forensic scientists . . . my own synchro.)
It was so obviously the Distracted Boyfriend that I caught that before even seeing the second hunchback. Even with both Frankensteins (Doctor and Monster) playing the role of the boyfriend, which could have confused the matter, with a less well defined meme.
A parody of the Distracted Boyfriend meme should have exactly three characters to be recognizable as such. Four characters makes it difficult to recognize as the meme.

A modern “weird stuff” Far Side inspired panel cartoon doesn’t have consistent logic?
I’m shocked!
Well, for my two cents I wasn’t aware there was a specific meme but I figure hump envy was clear enough as it was.

The less endowed hunchback is jealous, because monsters and mad scientists are turned on by “stacked” lab assistants.

I agree with the “distracted boyfriend” theory. The characters are almost positioned exactly like it.

Definitely the “distracted boyfriend”. If the meme has penetrated this far, it must be pretty much over.

I wasn’t familiar with the meme as a meme. I think my image was funnier *before* I knew it was a meme.

I agree with Joshua K. I figured that’s what they were going for, but the characters should be in the same places and there should only be 3.
