AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'It's Goofy Time!' meme features an exploitable comic template derived from a single-panel illustration from the webcomic series 'The Parking Lot is Full', which was first published in 1998. The template depicts a crudely drawn figure wearing a mask resembling the Disney character Goofy, holding a belt in one hand as he enters a room where a boy is seen. This panel is often modified with different characters and captions, creating a variety of humorous or dark scenarios.
