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 mean, getting shot in the throat has a way of doing that.

I suppose in a sense our life is a trance, traveling forward through time, and the coordinated nervous rhythms of our vital organs are "mantras" that maintain it.

Dude is one asymmetric pair of glasses from Spider Jerusalem

Even closer than that to being King Mob from The Invisibles.

Edit: based on what other people have posted, it is King Mob. I'll see myself out.

Ah. "Scramble the mantras" must be code for big time fucking up peoples' guts, then

Pulling anything from The Invisibles is just plain cheating. Anything Grant Morrison wrote, really.

That's why I went with a tamer panel.

Maybe it depends on whether Grant Morrison intended this to be funny..?

..or would it depend on whether King Mob thought this was funny? 😱 Fuck, you're giving me Invisibles PTSD Flashbacks

In context, it is a straightforward, accurate explanation. Mob is just filling him in on simple facts.
