Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
-
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
-
Single panels are preferred.
-
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
-
Don't be a dick.
-
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

I found a red "DANGER ☢️ HARMFUL RADIATION" sack made of thin cloth in the attic. Contains sewing supplies. I don't have a Geiger counter, should I be worried?
That depends. Do you now have trouble sleeping at night because of the glow you're emanating?
Yes but the bag was next to circa 1980s welding rods which I couldn't help but eat so it might have been the thorium. I can't take a good photo, it's all grainy and somehow gets worse with longer exposure.
Heh -- there is a smartphone app called GammaPix that claims to be able to detect gamma radiation via your phone's camera, but the reviews are mixed. Still, it's cheaper than buying a Geiger counter!
Old GM tubes are cheap and the electronics are easy enough to make for me. I'd do it if I was actually worried. The noise in the photo is fake but that would be a ridiculous amount.
Cool! (I couldn't tell a circuit diagram from a Circuit City, so I'm stuck paying retail for things like that!)
