I can haz historical context?

thanks to twitter, I have learned that the whole Lolcat phenomenon is actually more than 100 years old. Turns out that the first person to take a picture of a cat and affixing a silly caption to it was Harry Pointer, a photographer from Brighton, UK. Starting around 1870, he began publishing his The Brighton Cats series, which, by 1884, had included some 200 photographs.
So, in the scheme of things, HappyCat is a relative n00b, by more than a century.
