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.

I challenge you to put this into context.
Challenge me will you? That's a paddlin'.
Lana Lang researched evidence that Superboy was Clarke Kent. She held the information to blackmail him. Her father punished her for the crime of 'stupidity'.
Superboy. (1975, April). Vengeance of the super-villains! (Issue No. 208) [Comic book].
Now reciprocate with my energon offering you Sharkticon.
Ok the context still doesnt make it make sense.
Corporal punishment was normalised.
I mean, it does not either make sense to punish her for not thinking of something, whether the punishment is corporal or not.
But maybe not making sense was normalized back then.
"You're going to get spanked for being so stupid" sounds like something my dad would have said.
Also, kudos to Smallville for nailing the casting for Lana Lang
