		<description>I'd like to clarify my former statement: If you are serious when you ask "Any way of confirming this?" (which I doubt, but what the heck) I'll go ahead and debunk this out of hand.

First: The strip includes 3 LOLcats clichés in four panels. If this were anything other than a retroactive attempt to create legitimacy, we might see three strips with one cliché each.

Second: The history of the so-called artists includes rather improbable details. It states that the artist worked as a "part-time walrus hunter" which is probably a reference to &lt;a href="http://www.ihasabucket.com/"&gt;I has a Bucket.&lt;/a&gt;

And Finally: The poster's &lt;a href="http://apelad.blogspot.com/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; has a fascination for material from the 30's and 40's and includes a number of the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats strips, many of which contain anachronisms. Examples follow.

&lt;a href="http://apelad.blogspot.com/2007/08/laugh-out-loud-cats-162.html"&gt;One&lt;/a&gt; - The resurgence of H.P. Lovecraft's fiction is a fairly new phenomena, and would have been a lost reference to most.
&lt;a href="http://apelad.blogspot.com/2007/08/laugh-out-loud-cats-153.html"&gt;Two&lt;/a&gt; While the word 'posse' certainly exited, it was not used in this kind of colloquial manner until recently.
&lt;a href="http://apelad.blogspot.com/2007/08/laugh-out-loud-cats-150.html"&gt;Three&lt;/a&gt; This cliché is fairly recent, and derives from the original "I'm in yr base, killin yr doodz" a video game reference.
&lt;a href="http://apelad.blogspot.com/2007/08/laugh-out-loud-cats-148.html"&gt;Four&lt;/a&gt; A computer reference.
&lt;a href="http://apelad.blogspot.com/2007/08/laugh-out-loud-cats-138.html"&gt;Five&lt;/a&gt; An internet forum or bulletin board reference.

I think I've debunked this enough.</description>
