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.

In the comic at least, a smurf is the last ingredient Gargamel needs to make a philosopher's stone.

I'm pretty sure they were not clear on that in the cartoon (at least in the U.S.) and I would support that by saying that they had to change Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the U.S. because they thought American kids wouldn't understand.

That makes it worse though... either eat them or give himself the god-like powers of the philosopher's stone which includes transmuting anything into gold. And he can't decide.
