Out of Context Comics

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.

How easy that would have been to avoid. Just write "only person," problem fixed.

I see a duck, and I see a cop.

Neither of those things qualify as human.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's really unkind to ducks.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Also unkind to pigs. :(

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

A duck, a pig, and a human are walking in the desert...

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 4 points 18 hours ago

In Usagi Yojimbo, do they recognise that they are different species? Cuz they'll talk about rabbits as though they are animals (as opposed to the anthropomorphic animal characters). Also there's humans.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, dude, but you're a duck.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's just his last name! It's not his identity!

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 22 points 1 day ago (4 children)

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck...

[–] thehatfox@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

As he speaks English, does Donald talk like a duck though?

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 3 points 19 hours ago

Tap for spoilerUsually ducks don't speak at all!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Which brings up a point- in the comics, Donald appears to speak without any sort of impediment, and is also quite eloquent. In the cartoons... not so much.

[–] sepiroth154@feddit.nl 12 points 1 day ago

It's probably to do with it being easier to add in speech than in writing. But I'm sure someone on YouTube can make a 10 hour documentary about the deep lore behind it!

[–] flabbergast@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We can thank Carl Barks for the upgrade from the cartoons.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Carl gave Donald about a 30-point IQ boost along with fixing the speech impediment.

[–] flabbergast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For anybody unfamiliar with Barks and his Duck-legacy, look him up on wikipedia, or better yet: Read his classic Uncle Scrooge stories. Best work he has done!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And I don't know about the recent reboot, but the Ducktales cartoon from the 80s adapted a lot of Barks stories.

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 3 points 17 hours ago

The 2017 reboot is excellent (arguably better than the 80s series), and adapts stories by Carl Barks as well as Don Rosa.

[–] flabbergast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I must admit I'm not familiar with those. I'm more comic than cartoon minded, and get picky about the drawing-style. Gonna check them out though.

It's a chicken! (Old Cow and Chicken cartoon episode)

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

Then you should still ask it what it identifies as.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

According to that logic, you aren't a squid either but maybe a duck or... a human??

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am a squid and identify as a squid. Donald obviously is whatever the opposite of a furry is.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago

A... skinny?

No, wait that's awful.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Who is going to tell him?

[–] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

This gives off "Ted Cruz for Human President" vibes.
