Hopefully it is clear that Brooksie has Jessica’s bra on her head, which she thinks makes her look like she has cat ears. The song she’s singing is an old meme called The Kitty Cat Dance. I don’t usually worry about the timeline of the comic, but in the time they are living in it would be, like, 2 years old. So, ancient in internet time. It may as well be the dead sea scrolls now. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to come back to them with evidence that Jo was let at dem hoots. They probably picked an out of the way place in the park & made out for a little while. They’ve both had an emotional day so far, so it was probably very nice to be with each other for a little while.

From your clues, that would place these events of the comic around Summer 2009.

I have noticed as progressively younger people interact with the internet their basic lack of knowledge coupled with impatience creates the concept that anything older than ___ years is “old” on the internet. Back when The Kitty Cat Dance was new, memes had a shelf life measured in years, now it is a often a handful of weeks. Yes, I do blame the push-button mentality of Millennial thinking – wish the memes would last a bit longer.

Old memes were making a comeback anyway. Doge, trollface…some have even reconfirmed recently that Milhouse is still not a meme. However, the fact that Milhouse is still not a meme remains a meme.

Danger. Do not allow ‘Millhouse is not a meme is a meme’ to become a meme. The meme-ception could collapse into a singularity.

Funny things is that I find that, coming from Jo, the meme makes sense. No matter how long ago it was in real or in-universe time.
She quotes movies all the time, so quoting popular memes (especially a video meme) from way back feels pretty much in character.

Voice one- “Tony, WHY are we wearing BRAS on our head???”

Voice two- “It’s a [ceremonial] part of the spell!”

-Paraphrased from the film, “Weird Science”.

god i was not expecting that song here of all places

like it came outta nowhere and just beat me over the head

(mumbles something about earworms)

she’s cute tho! o/

Ok my run-down-after-work twitchy-before-food brain had absolutely no defense against this comic and the memories it brought back so thanks I love you and also wow ouch my sensibilities ^_^

What is it with the Lincoln siblings and getting some action in parks?

Do people just not fool around in public anymore? Have people stopped doing that in the 10 years I’ve been stuck in this house?

I guess people do.

Youtube has some, “making out in the park” videos, from 2019.

And this, [current information?], says that people in Paris, France, like kissing, + holding hands, in the parks:

That page says

Kissing in the park
Paris boasts a wealth of green spaces – ideal places to steal a kiss away from prying eyes!

And then has a photo of two people kissing.

Not away from prying cameras! And now a whole world of prying eyes.

Classic internet meme-ery here. I love it. I remember my sister and I laughing my ass off at that video at the time.

I know the song is way way faster but the way the text is laid out makes it sound like its a much slower and incredibly cute cover :3 – “Cat *longish pause* I’m a kitty cat *longish pause* and I dance, dance, dance..” instead of singing “Cat..I’m-a-kitty-cat..and-I-dance-dance-dance” really quickly.

I finally got around to searching for “kitty cat dance” on YouTube and I found the original video. It was posted 17 years ago! (2007) I was on the internet then (I still remember the Hampster (sic) Dance fondly), but I was pretty oblivious to trends and memes and stuff — still am, actually — so I’m not surprised I never ran across it. Cute video, though. 8-)
