Auston Matthews is giving new life to Mitch Marner's status as a meme.

Matthews changed his Twitter avatar to a Photoshopped shot of Marner boarding a school bus with some younger students.

The Marner portion of Matthews' avi is real, and it's a flipped version of the one posted by Postmedia's Mike Zeisberger at the airport Monday.

That shot turned Marner into a meme, as his facial expression was apparently too good for the internet to ignore.

There were many others, but this one apparently struck a chord with Matthews.

Now that the Leafs' best player has embraced the meme, it's clearly not going away anytime soon, and based on Marner's new cover photo on his own Twitter profile, he's getting on board himself.
