What Do You Remember?
When we’re talking about modesty, we’re talking about the impression that is made on the viewer by the wearer. Specifically, what does my clothing say about me, and how will it be perceived by members of the opposite sex.
In the case of this comic, we see that the less Janis wore, the better Arlo could remember where she wore it.
Why? Because specific items carry meaning. It could be that some special event happened when they were at Perdido Key or the Peabody, but it’s also very possible that this guy loved seeing his wife in next to nothing on the beach, and in the little black dress going out.
Though this is a comic, it’s also true in real life. The image of a pretty girl that a guy saw can stay with them much longer. That is also the real threat posed by pornography—that what one has seen one cannot un-see, and that those images take a long time to fade from memory because they’re associated with a physical and/or emotional reaction.

I’ve heard that everything that has ever gone into your brain is still there even if you can’t remember it. When there is a strong connection you’ll remember it better. Once it’s done, it’s done so we need to be careful.

Very good point. Definitely we should be careful! Both in what we wear and what we see. Even if we *do* forget sexual images after a while, it is wrong to lust (which usually follows seeing something enticing). – So, if we can possibly avoid it, we should.
