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.

The ever-present "-ly" suffix that makes nouns and adjectives into adverbs comes from the Old English (and earlier) suffix "lic" (pronounced leek), which meant "like" (as in "similar to").

Someone who is "friend-like" is friendly. Something that is done "proper-like" is done properly.
