As requested, here are some places to look. Golden age comics are the best for this sort of silly stuff and many are public domain, so there are multiple places to look for them. Be warned, it is overwhelming. They churned out comics back then like they were gum wrappers.

https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/

https://comicbookplus.com/

https://www.pulpmagazines.org/old-comics/

https://www.comicweb.com/golden-age-comics.html

Feel like wading through the mess of the Internet Archive if you like: https://archive.org/details/comics

If you wish to brave the evil that is Reddit, there is: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoldenAgeComics/

If anyone has other resources, feel free to add them. Please no pirate sites, there's a lot of "read today's comics online for free" sites which would violate lemmy.world ToS.

A cozy room with a fireplace. A woman in a long yellow dress stands with her back to the viewer, looking toward a man lying unconscious on a couch. Another man, dressed in a red military-style uniform jacket, kneels beside the couch, checking on the unconscious person. The woman asks, "IS HE DEAD?" and the man in red replies, "SMELL HIM!"

A pensive Batman looks intently at Catwoman. Catwoman stands in a pool of light, facing toward Batman. She’s wearing her classic purple catsuit that hugs her figure, a black cat-eared mask covering her eyes, and a flowing black cape. She has one hand on her hip and the other resting on her thigh in a confident, seductive pose. Her body is turned slightly, showing her curves, and she has a slight smile on her face. Batman simply says, "HMMM..."

"Trust Me" he says. (lemmy.world)

Man in red shirt (Doc Sampson) talks to Bruce Banner. He says, "Bruce... if you'll just put a little trust in me, maybe we can find out who both of you are." Banner replies, "Eh?" The positioning of the characters is awkward, if not suggesting sexual innuendo.

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.
