Transcript:
Edward Grigas: And now, gentlemen, the Suicide Club will hold its nightly meeting!
The worst part is the weekly membership drive to keep their constantly-dwindling rolls up.
Apparently the lemonade isn't tasty enough if they're holding these meetings nightly.
They’re less hard core than the Suicide Squad. They mostly handle dangerous local beautification projects and “read to a psychopath events.”
Is that penguin?
Just a one-off villian-of-the-week for a superhero called The Shield. Seems like he might've-sort've been in the DC universe. The Penguin was created in December 1941, and this comic was published in February 1942, so quite possibly inspired by the Penguin.
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.
