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.

MODERATORS
Especially during this time period, it would likely mean multiple things before genitalia.
“Dick” was a pretty common word for a detective, as in “hiring a private dick.” These comics are probably chock full of humorous uses of “dick.”
For this one specifically, the first place tineye sees it on the internet is on a “forgotten cool” tumblr in 2015, which also doesn’t cite where it came from.
Wow you're such a Dick, that was a great research.
Great insight, thank you. Makes even more sense with detective dick.
