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.

Context is Adventure Comics (1938) #222, page 6

Transcript:

I've had worse blows than that, without ill effect! Why did I go into that queer trance before? Well, I'd best forget it! It won't happen again!

I don't blame you, it's unbelievably stupid. But I was into it as a kid, so I keep up with the storylines without reading the comics. Once they decided to reboot everything I lost a lot of interest.

Anyway, if it's Superboy and it looks like it's from before the 90s, it is definitely Kal-El because before then, Superboy was just Superman when he lived in Smallville.
