Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
Single panels are preferred.
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
Don't be a dick.
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

Did chatgpt get this right? I'm not sure I believe it.

Sure! Here's a translation of that 1950s lingo to modern English:

"Pipe that beef trust, slick" = "Pay attention to that business situation, buddy!" 

In context, "pipe" could mean "listen" or "pay attention," "beef trust" refers to the business or situation (possibly a reference to the meatpacking industry or a specific business issue), and "slick" is a term of endearment or a way to address someone in a friendly but confident manner.

The only thing I question is the definition for “pipe”. I’ve never heard it used to mean listen/pay attention. I’ve heard “peep” used in the manner, as in, “Peep that”. Just because I’ve never heard it doesn’t mean anything though. The rest is correct though.

I have only heard it used in ‘pipe down’, meaning to be quite.
