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.

"The Bat-Mite Bandits" is from Detective Comics #289, not Batman #141, so at least some of that is hallucinated. The year is correct, but the month is not:
There was a Bat-Man #141 in Aug. 1961, but there's no Bat-Mite Bandits story in it:

Yeah, I saw the issue number didn't seem to match up, but gave up verifying it when I couldn't find a source to view the actual comics from that era to find the original panel. Was hoping it would be something that the LLM would be able to magically pull from it's training data or the web, but I'm guessing it was hampered by the same lack of a digital copy of comics from the era that stopped me from looking into it further.
It's really annoying that AIs get such simple, easily verifiable things wrong and confidently state the incorrect info as fact. What a colossal waste of money and resources!
