this has to have been done before #ygo

Silly comic redraw/meme of Yugi and Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh. Panel 1: Yami Yugi says, "Yugi, it is pride month. You know what that means". Yugi is puzzled and responds, "Huh? What?". The next panel, Yami Yugi is walking away while Yugi continues, even more confused. Yugi says, "Do you want us to summon like... Gay dark magician? What?"
