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.

Transcript:

Scientist #1: Great Scott! The hatch is opening--

Scientist #1: --and a baby is coming out!

Scientist #2: Look! He's as invulnerable to the laser as is his rocket!

Kal-El: I am hungry!

The part where the hatch opens needs a frame where one of the guards freaks out and fires a laser before others stop him. Then it would be clear how the fuck did they discover the laser-resistance.

It's even simpler than that... they were firing the laser at the hatch when it opened, and the laser beam hit the "baby" before they'd had a chance to turn it off.
