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.

Source? (I'd love to use it on some conversations and would like to know the context before that, just in case)

source: "Chacha Chaudhury: Duplicate" (literally: Uncle Chaudhury: Duplicate. Chacha Chaudhury has been a famous comic character in india for 40-50 years or so).

context: some folks have just robbed a bank and are driving away. one of the bank's officers runs after them screaming for them to stop. her usage of the word "booty" is a translation artefact; i haven't read the original hindi version, but i'm guessing the line would have been closer to "stop them, they've looted the bank!".
