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.

Oh sure, but they're never around when you need them, are they? (lemmy.world)

Ok, gorillas seem to be a recurring theme here. Were they that common in the comics of the era or are most of these from the same issue? Or maybe I simply have a heretofore unrealized sensitivity to gorillas.

Very common and I have no idea why. I guess people just thought gorillas were the scariest thing back then. Not just giant ones like King Kong. There are a ton of old movies with a guy in a gorilla suit chasing people around as one of the big scary monsters.
