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.

It's so super, it's 10x normal math.

20 × 16 × 10 = 32000 is definitely in the supershenanigans domain

What fucking nerd knows the weight of a bean

I bet he doesn't even know the weights of any other legumes. What a super-poser

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

He's holding a bean in his other hand. Presumably, he doubles as a scale.

Hands up, who here would have been able to recall the weight of a bean from memory?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure why he couldn't have immediately taken a bean off of a scale before that panel. I hope your memory isn't that poor.

Feel free to investigate the matter and find out. Until then, it is as possible that he did as it is that he didn't.

Come to think of it, since he's fictional, he did both. And neither. At the same time if you want.

No, thank you. I don't need to cover every possible base for a joke.

To get to the next jar of beans?

It was a different time, people constantly needed to know how many small objects were inside of a larger object.

How exactly did Lois rise to the job of chief journalist at a national newspaper anyway?
