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.

No wonder my ancestors got overpowered so easily ... why didn't they think of this before!

A civilized weapon for a more civilized age.

There's absolutely no way this can go wrong.

At that point you might as well go with the Japanese lunge mine design. If a nuke is gonna go off in my general vicinity I'd want to be as close as possible.

It doesn't have to be a bomb. It could be like a demon core. The tank drivers get a blast of gamma but it's a very small lethal radius.

The bow is actually a better delivery mechanism than a RPG. It's slow enough that there is time for the caveman to duck under cover.

I love settings like this. The tribal mixed with the atomic. Its so cool to me.

You would probably really enjoy Heavy Metal Magazine. Especially the stuff by Moebius. It's a French sci-fi comic magazine the 80's animated movie was based on.

I don't think they make it anymore but there's plenty of back issues to read. A few have been scanned in and put on the Internet Archive and I wouldn't be surprised if you could find more by sailing the high seas.

This is all going so well with my current play through of Caves of Qud, and my planning for a Gamma World campaign. Thank you so much, I plan on descending into these waters and not emerging for a while.

What's a good trick to getting into Qud? I have it but can't seem to stick with it.
