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.

I'm honestly very confused by it. This rules make less and less sense to me everyday because the creators werent clueless idiots, damn near every post here was intentionally funny? Do you mean no humor only comics or obvious jokes?

Or is it if the character is saying it to make a joke or trying to be funny? Is it fine if the writer/artists intent was to be funny?

I think the purpose was to have the humor be caused by the lack of context. If you look at the older posts by FlyingSquid, a lot of them are funny because the words take on a different meaning than what was originally intended.
