Pepe the Frog, whose likeness became a troll meme, has croaked at the age of 12.

His spirit may live on in bigoted corners of the internet, but creator Matt Furie confirmed the frog’s death Saturday with an illustration of his funeral.

It is not clear how Pepe passed.

“While it’s unlikely Pepe’s official death will stop extremists from co-opting his image, this was, perhaps, the most effective way for Furie to reclaim his character; Pepe’s soul has returned to his creator. Rest in Peace,” CBR author Shaun Manning said.

Pepe the Frog’s life started innocently as a cartoon in Furie’s “Boy’s Club” comic, but somewhere along the way, he ended up falling into a bad crowd.

On social media, Pepe started to become associated with white supremacists, neo-Nazis and the alt-right, particularly during the 2016 election.

Eric Reynolds, an associate publisher at Fantagraphics, which published the funeral illustration in an anthology, said that Furie had become “troubled” by the turn the cartoon had taken.

“I think the strip was less about saying Pepe the Frog is dead — because Pepe is a fictional cartoon character — and more about him just sort of processing everything that’s going on” Reynolds told the New York Times.
