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 made this mistake too once. Skinhead ≠ Nazi. Skinheads were originally just working class kids with a particular aesthetic, generally ska fans.

Nazi skinheads are a subsect that were/are disavowed, and actively fought, by the larger skinhead community. Far left, actively anti-fascist skinheads were/are definitely a thing.

Maybe if you're in Britain.

In the US, skinhead always means Nazi.

Not everywhere in the states.

No worries. I'm not from there, but pretty into the (punk/skin) culture where I'm from.

I have heard people call the racist/Nazi/whatever shitty thing they are skinheads, "boneheads" instead. Not too sure how common that is though.

Do I feel comfortable calling myself a skinhead? Not really, because of the connotation many people associate with the term.
