Explain?
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!

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.
