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.

It is, but I kind of wish folks would dial it back to maybe 2-3 solid posts per day. At the current rate it feels like we are going to burn through all the good stuff in a week or two, and it will either become a ghost town or devolve into slop. (Given the finite source material)

I feel like you just inadvertently described the problem with 99% of meme "communities" on the internet. I used quotes there because they're more like image dumps than actual communities. Every new one that pops up just gets filled with the posts from the others until they're all homogenous...The fact that there's a risk of running out says a lot. I haven't seen an OC meme community in years

@[email protected] would it make sense to have a meta thread where people can post about good places to dig up more comics, or ask other questions like if a post is allowed?

That's a good idea, thanks. I'll try to put something together tomorrow.
