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.

I don't know that it's a cigarette. It isn't in his mouth, it's below it. I think it must be some sort of exhaust pipe. Either that, or her ghost mother is standing in front of him and smoking it.

I did find that a little odd, I wondered if he had an elaborate z-shaped cigarette-holder, or as you say, had a smoking exhaust installed in his chin/cheek.

It may be a coloring issue. I think his mouth is open, since he's speaking, but is not white for the teeth. May be a limitation of the coloring tech from that era.

If you consider an open mouth, then the cig is in the right place.

So we're back around to "cigarette and pipe" then?

Also, that means the pipe is in his nose.
