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.

Uhhhh…what’s the context!?
Context is actually pretty much what we see here. She wants to get wrecked by a big strong man:
It actually gets pretty weird from there:
Wow, you were right.
That was pretty fucking weird.
vibe
nsfw
Origins of hentai...? 🧐
Well, it was part of the origins to the pornography censorship in Japan.
So, the beginning of a tentacle cuck journey. Popeye the Tentacuck. I'd say it aged well.
Popeye, would it kill you too get some spinach in you and make that Olive Oyl extra non-virgin? Don't complain if she dumps you for Brutus.
It's even worse with context.
Disgustipating
It's a pretty weird Tool song
Had an ex like that with a SA fantasy. She broke up with me because I wouldn't pretend to rape her.
why not, did that not sit right with you ?
Nope, I have no interest in raping anyone, even if it's role-play.
Blindfolding AND tentacles?? This is pure fucking gold
Do you happen to know the source? I'd like to add it to the post but I couldn't find it.
It is the 12/19/1937 Sunday Edition Thimble Theater comic. Not sure how widely syndicated it was but here is an auction listing for the page with a header from the Cleveland Plane Dealer:
Comic syndication is pretty damned weird and complicated, so I am not certain exactly who the official publisher is, but these were pretty widely distributed at the time so I expect that most papers that ran full color Sunday comics probably ran this one. Here is more reading about this piece of history:

By the time this comic was published (12/19/1937), it was being distributed in thousands of newspapers. The original artist died the next year. It's possible this is from a book with a collection of Thimble Theater comics, the company that holds the copyright has made a few since then

Fwiw I don't see this comic on there but I find something else while looking:

Thanks! I saw the Thimble Theater, but the newspaper one was new to me. Added it to my post.
