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.

Touch-and-go

It was about 7 years ago and I don't remember the hyphenation exactly, I just spotted the use of "goes" and suspected it to be... non-ideal. Not sure "Situations" would have been too helpful; considering the context, in retrospective I think "Events" might have been better as you were supposed to enter the number of times it occurred... and I'd argue a situation can include multiple events (or occurrences?).

This was during development of a system used in aviation that needed these numbers to calculate maintenance intervals. So not exactly something most people get in contact with.

For clarification, this is when the aircraft already has wheels on the runway during landing (touch) and the pilot decides he won't be able to make a stop until the end of the runway safely and takes off again (go)
