I'm not sure I understand what I'm looking at here?

Is it loss? Is this a loss meme?

Edit: A choice was made to ask this question, it is one I regret immensely.

I didn't recognize it and thought it was a cartoon figure smoking a huge bong.

I actually didn't see it at first either.

Looks like a bong to me, but hey, that's the fun part of imagination!

Oh shit, that's just hilarious. Didn't know what OP referenced, but had a good laugh, thanks.
