It’s both. In English, it uses Germanic gods for all but Saturday. French uses the Roman names (Latin etymology instead of Germanic). Sunday and Monday exist in both (with different names for Sun and Moon), and Saturday in Germanic languages is usually not related to a deity (it varies by region though). In English we get a nice mix of gods because we have both Germanic and Latin roots.
Also, to convert Proto-Germanic to Old West Norse, Woden = Odin, Tor = Thor, Friga = Frigg/Freyja (the names got mixed up in etymology, they might be the same goddess), and Tiw/Tiwar = Tyr.
Remember getting the newspaper and flipping straight to the memes page? Or going to the meme book store? Or getting up early to watch the Saturday memes on TV?
It sounds stupid because comics and cartoons aren’t memes.
A comic or a cartoon could express a meme, just like anything else. Not in this case, though.
Most people just see “meme” as “a funny picture with text on it”, so a comic fits right in there. Technically speaking, most things posted as memes aren’t memes, but people are too lazy to separate these things out. And really, why should they?
