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.

More proof that Superman is kinda a dick.

I'd call him out on "Super-count" even being a thing.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He can do super math at one point, too.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 36 points 5 months ago (4 children)


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

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 17 points 5 months ago

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

What fucking nerd knows the weight of a bean

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A nerd with a kitchen scale?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 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?

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Right? He could just be making shit up and we just believe it because he's Superman!

[–] Microplasticbrain@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago

That's some super-shit

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 39 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Wow, Superman is a shithead “well actually” reply guy.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 months ago

Judging by the era implied by the art style, it comes from a time when mansplaining wasn't just accepted, it was expected.

[–] sundrei 26 points 5 months ago

You let a million things go every day, Supe... why couldn't this be one of them?

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This brought back early internet memories of superdickery

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I miss that site so much.

[–] dtrain@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

I want this scene in the next Superman movie

Early super man had literally every power, including super math and super sewing. They had to cut out all that shit cause Superman was never in danger and had no weaknesses, although in these days, superhero comics were still being written as if they were detective pulp novels, so super man wasn’t flying around having epic battles with doomsday or metallo

[–] Please_Do_Not@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

I'll say it again, you're a super idiot, Lois.
