I believe it’s intentional. Then, you interpret the original post this is being replied to, as the content of such bubble. Alas, I am still figuring out what’s the meaning of it all…
In my interpretation, the lady in the phone says something so Orwellian that the guy looking in the calendar is surprised, but it makes sense because in the next calendar month, we’re going back to the year in 1984.
Agreed although apparently use of the meme is now expanded to include anything that sends us back to 1984, so it could mean “that’s an old joke” or “women these days appreciate a big stick, that’s outdated sexism.”
As an old woman, I disagree though. Big sticks should be appreciated in Nature and then left for someone else to enjoy. That’s not sexist. And OP’s comic is new to me. It’s also adorable.
