Out of Context Comics

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.

Why would you want to make us scroll horizontally to read that?

Just use a quote

Sure! Here's a translation of that 1950s lingo to modern English:

"Pipe that beef trust, slick" = "Pay attention to that business situation, buddy!"

In context, "pipe" could mean "listen" or "pay attention," "beef trust" refers to the business or situation (possibly a reference to the meatpacking industry or a specific business issue), and "slick" is a term of endearment or a way to address someone in a friendly but confident manner.

Oh I use jerboa on android and I dont have that issue. I like how code blocks look, but I'll use quotes in the future lol

Oh, that surprises me. Can you send a screenshot? Code blocks are supposed to wrap because you don't want code to look weird And indentations and white space are sometimes important.

I will admit that on mobile it doesn't make too much sense because screens are so narrow.

I use Thunder, by the way.

Weird hey? I'm still experimenting with all the Lemmy apps; I'll give Thunder a shot today!

Thunder is great. I feel like I tried them all, and it has the best mix of customization and solid features.
