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.

The only thing I question is the definition for “pipe”. I’ve never heard it used to mean listen/pay attention. I’ve heard “peep” used in the manner, as in, “Peep that”. Just because I’ve never heard it doesn’t mean anything though. The rest is correct though.
I have only heard it used in ‘pipe down’, meaning to be quite.
According to Green's Dictionary of Slang, it can mean many things. In this case, I'm betting on:
pipe, v.(3) 1. to look over, to inspect. 2. orig. of a detective, to follow, to pursue; to spy on. 3. to understand, to work out. [with US examples 1882-1962]
