Before and After Liver Transplant Dark Yellow Humor Meme

This two-panel meme features top text that reads 'Man shares picture before and after liver transplant'. The left (before transplant) panel depicts a bald father with bright yellow jaundiced skin, a common symptom of severe liver disease, carrying his young daughter who has normal pale skin on his back. The right (after transplant) panel shows the same father now with normal pale skin, carrying his daughter who now has bright yellow jaundiced skin. The gag is an absurdist dark pun: instead of receiving a healthy liver to cure his jaundice, the meme implies the father literally transferred his liver disease and associated yellow skin to his daughter. The joke fits the 'yellow humor' label, playing both on the yellow color of jaundiced skin and the term for off-color/dark comedy.
