Its a cactuar.
Arguably pre-internet, first appeared in FF 6, 1994.
Internet’s older than you think. Tim Berners Lee, the dude who invented the World Wide Web, opened it up to the public a year earlier.

Yes, I am quite familiar with the song, which has obviously not popped out of existence following the advent of the Internet.
No, but it did exist before the internet. That was what they meant, not that the strip magically transports to a time before the internet existed with the second panel.
OK, but none of this is explaining anything.
What is left that you need explained to you?
What the actual joke is supposed to be.
I would read other comments in the post, then.
Did Steve Martin get canceled?
Nah, he opt out and spends his time with a banjo these days
Could we get some comic with that jpeg?
