“This year we’ll turn it around” counts as a resolution in my book!

A little bit mean … but still quite funny.
A brain-painful LOL from Chemgal:
Inspiration!
This almost went into the Oys list, since there is a play on a sort of ambiguity of where. This was a favorite joke-form of a friend of mine who knew Ulysses inside-out after teaching it to undergrads at Millard Fillmore College in Buffalo, and dubbed these “on the canal bank” jokes. It was from this bit, in the final chapter:
I hate that confession when I used to go to Father Corrigan he touched me father and what harm if he did where and I said on the canal bank like a fool but whereabouts on your person my child on the leg behind high up was it yes rather high up was it where you sit down yes O Lord couldnt he say bottom right out and have done with it what has that got to do with it and did you whatever way he put it I forget no father

Thanks to Boise Ed for sending this in and noting how it does “clever damage to the fourth wall”.
And a nice plus here is that Percy was not brought in just for this meta moment, but in following days has some entirely non-meta joke conversations with Clayton.
And it was just so perfect!
Question 1: Is panel 5 a Geezer or a known fixture of American culture?
Question 2: Is “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia” a Geezer, or perhaps an anti-Geezer? A cultural meme more likely to be known by the young?
From Andréa and chemgal.
And another one from chemgal. This one has to be a Geezer, right?
