And what better way to show his devotion than by preserving a photo of his member and sharing it with the object of his affection?
So, we sat down with with the great, great, great granddaughter of Marigold Livingston (the dick pic recipient) for an exclusive interview.
Rebecca Livingston seemed somewhat unimpressed with Dicky's technological innovation, as well as, um...little Dicky.
The picture was also accompanied by a "love" letter of sorts that read, "U up?"
In Marigold's diary she recalled sharing the photograph and note with her close friends.
Luckily, we were able to track down Marigold's original response to Dicky in our vast archives. It reads:
After close examination of Marigold's response, we can conclude she was less than impressed with Dicky's act of love.
And that, friends, is how the first dick pic came to be.
