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.

Smelling patchouli has the same effect on me.

I just think it's funny that people believe you won't know they've been smoking weed if they're wearing patchouli.

As if there were any other reason people went out wearing patchouli.

Many years ago I was acquainted with college kids who used it exclusively to mask the fact that they didn't believe in deodorant. Weed was certainly involved on some level, but I remember sooooo many unsolicited lectures about the dangers of bathing with soap every day and wearing "chemicals" when all you really need is a good sebaceous barrier to protect your skin and some nice patchouli.

Barf. Barf barf barf.

It was years before I smelled patchouli on its own - without the underlying BO funk. It's not objectively bad, but I can't disconnect it from the unwashed masses of prep school kids who were suddenly untethered from their dress codes.

Is that why people use it? I guess that would explain why it's popular with the more crusty cohort.

I used to know a guy who would go to festivals with a super soaker he called the Job Cannon. He'd walk around sniffing the air going "I smell patchouli" and screaming "Get a job, hippie!" before spraying people.

Fun fact: Patchouli oil was used in the production of the toy action figure Stinkor from Mattel's Masters of the Universe toy line http://www.oafe.net/yo/motustink.php

Why are there not more memes of this character

He's got that hippy smell ladies and gentlemen.

Pachouli,... I have never associated it with weed (like many posts in here) but with Goths. The dark and heavy smell isn't that far off..
