      Technically, “without text nor image”. Your list is implying otherwise.

        granted, but the source material says “with text,” not “with text and image,” even though it’s technically the latter, so I pattern-matched as best I could.

          In that case, your second and subsequent points should have no text, since the source material has no text for them. And the last point can’t arguably have text at all either way. 😉

          More seriously, the source material has both texts and images, and it was your choice to only represent half of that. You could have easily written:

          meme explanation

          Note: Descriptive information is in italics.

          text image
          understanding a meme with text Small brain
          understanding a meme without text Normal brain
          understanding a meme without text Nor image
          understanding a meme without meme

          Or:

          This meme is taking the classical “expanding brain” meme, and removing increasingly more content with each panel, implicitly prompting the reader to interpolate more information at each step, to practically illustrate the concept of the meme itself. The last panel has nothing at all.
