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.

Just your normal everyday submarine, passing by your canoe very close to shore in what appears to be a lake.

Recreational submariners ruining our romantic canoe rides.

Not even sure if context would help

I got rather curious and Googled it.

https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Superman%27s_Pal,_Jimmy_Olsen_Vol_1_68

"The Human Metal-Eater!": After Jimmy is bitten by a Metal-Eater in the Fortress of Solitude, he gains the power to eat and digest metal for 48 hours.

The crooks use Jimmy Olsen's Signal Watch to trap Superman and Krypto in a submarine with the kryptonite; but Jimmy saves the day by eating the kryptonite, with a little lead on the side.

It doesn't help that much, no. He's gonna eat the whole sub, starting from the periscope..?

Always tiring doing shaftwork

wait, kryptonite is a metal ? I always thought it's a mineral

[–] Dasus 2 points 2 months ago

As I understand that it mineral is a term for all inorganic terms found in the Earth and metal is a specific one.

But idk if is a "metal" per se. Perhaps there's comics where someone makes like a blade out of it idk.

Call a mineralogigilisist.

Jimmy Olsen loves to munch on something that's long, hard and full of seamen?

Drink some of that special pop... you know the kind, then tell her you are Elongated Man and show her what you can do... you'll be fine. After that she won't care how many subs you eat.

This is the Constant Craving that kd lang was singing about.
