Meme lore
What is the Woody Before vs. After meme?
Woody Before vs. After is a two-panel comparison: left is the Toy Story promo cowboy tipping his hat; right is the Toy Story 5 trailer still of Woody from behind, red paisley poncho, hat in his hands, paint worn off the crown so he looks bald. Used for aging, burnout, and “me then vs me now.”
