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.

OK, we need some fucking context

A brief search didn't just yield the comic, it also revealed to me that apparently Hitler had a reputation for biting a rug when he got angry. To the point where the thing had a hole.

Huh. Didn't know that yet. Certainly fits my previous perception of his mental stability (or rather lack thereof).

The comic is Wonder Woman #2 from 1942, specifically the story "The Earl of Greed".

Wasn't just the rug, either. He kept an old, wooden crate from his boyhood home in his office, as well, that he'd chew on for the tactile sensation of soft wood.

In times of great stress, Hitler was known to seriously munch some box.

I wasn't expecting to search the internet for "did hitler bite rugs" today

I genuinely thought that was Italian-English gibberish, meaning Mussolini is on Mars.

Attend gesta po conference Berlin tonight!

It's weird to have acronyms split like this.
