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 think a lot of you guys are missing the point of the original situation… parents at the time didn’t want their kids having premarital sex. And the closer you are to a person, the more likely it is that you guys are going to have sex.

So, keeping their relationships as shallow as possible was thought to help to limit how much premarital sex your kids had.

“Going steady” meant having sex. If you’re not “going steady” with anyone, then you’re not having sex. - Was the thought at the time.

Is this from an actual comic?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but it is out of context.

[–] Karmmah 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Surely, but which context could make this not weird?

Nonsense, no one actually knows what the grips do besides magic.

That's a good one.

As much misogyny was in the original, controling your daughter like that, you managed to one up it.
