On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog
"On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog" is an adage and Internet meme about Internet anonymity that began as a caption to a cartoon drawn by Peter Steiner and published in the July 5, 1993, issue of the American magazine The New Yorker. The words are those of a large dog sitting on a chair at a desk, with a paw on the computer's keyboard, speaking to a smaller dog on the floor nearby. By 2013, Steiner had earned between $200,000 and $250,000 from the cartoon's reprinting, and it had become The New Yorker's most reproduced cartoon. In 2023, the original was sold at auction for $175,000, a record for the highest price ever paid for a cartoon.
