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.

Remind me of the prototype weapon "the davy crocket" it was a concept weapon which would be used by field units preferably mounted to a willys jeep. Which would launch a football sized nuclear warhead.

It never saw deployment because of multi reasons which include

-- it didnt shoot far enough to get the launchers out of explosion range

-- there was alot scrutiny in the 50s over nuclear bombs.

-- it was heavy as fuck

Lots of people says the fallout series of games took heavy inspiration fron the davy crocket to make the fatman

I've read about it before. There's even photos.

If you want to apply the phrase "derp" to atomic weaponry, there you go.
