It's a reference to this meme:
The girl pasted over Tintin is Wednesday Addams, and she mistakenly refers to Captain Haddock as a commodore, so instead of Tintin saying "Captain, it's Wednesday," Haddock says "Wednesday, it's Captain."
Ah thanks, that's the most understandable explanation yet, though I don't understand why the original is a meme at all. No worries!

The recaptioned panel gained significant popularity as a reaction image used to express tiredness and being overwhelmed, but is also used as a template for redraws.
It's referring to this post, which was AI generated.
Um, thanks. I don't get that one either, though I can see the AI artifacts. It's ok though.
The joke is it inverts the usual "what a week/but captain it's Wednesday" meme. Wednesday (the character) calls the captain Commodore (a title for someone in command of a group of ships, but lower rank than an admiral). The captain corrects Wednesday, saying he's just a captain.
In the original instance of this meme (no idea if it's like that in the comic as well) the captain says exhaustedly "What a week." And Tintin says "Captain, it's Wednesday!"
So this one jumbled the words around.
No, AI slop! Any more?
Can you imagine a world without AI?
Webster's dictionary defines artificial intelligence as the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate intelligent human behavior.
To imitate intelligent human behavior.
Beautiful.
A shitty edit is way better than any AI slop
I've seen one case where people trying to make rage comics & wojaks "look better" by using ai. Like a techbro they are not getting the value of a meme is not high quality visual or professional visual, while in fact, shitty edits with noticable jpeg artifacts can make a meme funnier or ironic.
yhea, it's the crude human craft that makes it relatable.
But not enough fingers for AI-slop. Fingers! Father! Give me fingers!
Shut up, Hand of Vecna
Hail the Haddock!!
