Out of Context Comics

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

Clearly, Silver Age comic writers had easy access to drugs and no shame.

Not recommended on wood floor or unfinished tiles. Test in an inconspicuous spot

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Is there any context that makes this not weird?

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He can also clean cast iron pans with it

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Does that mean Superman's hair is not very pleasant to the touch?

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He uses JB Weld to style it

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like he needs some conditioner.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

not once there's syrup in it

[–] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

Well he's got Mr. Clean beat on this one.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

No Superman, that'll ruin the finish!

A real custodian would tell you that this is not the correct procedure for sticky syrup.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure, if you're not Superman.

Franky, I think his laser eyes plus a regular mop would have been less damaging to the floor if he HAD to use some power. Now there's going to be spiral shaped scrapes everywhere that need to be buffed out.

So inconsiderate. He's SUCH a showoff. We get it, you have more powers than every other super hero put together. That doesn't make you interesting, that means your writers weren't skilled enough to make you interesting with anything less than all of the powers.

"So... Superman would have super strong hair, right? Maybe I can use that in a story!"

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Beginning of Young Justice right there.

It's been established multiple times (including in animation!) that Superman shaves with his heat vision and a mirror. So I guess similarly?

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Is it just me, or is it written "meat-vision" there..?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What happens if he hits his eye back?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

He can see into infinity.

[–] Skanky@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

That's... not syrup, Superman...

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

So, that's why his hair always looked oiled to perfection.

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Who doesn't like syrup in their hair!?
