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.

Batman is waist deep in a hole. He peers into the hole and exclaims, "There's a problem with my Bat-Hole!"

Gemini thinks the speech bubble has been edited, but the panel is an original from "The bat-mite bandits" issue, note however that I don't think the issue number matches up and I'm not sure where to find a copy of the comics online to verify, so it could just be an AI hallucination

This specific panel is from Batman #141, published by DC Comics in August 1961. The story in this issue is titled "The Bat-Mite Bandits." In the unedited comic, the panel depicts Batman attempting to crawl out of a deep pit or trap, and his dialogue actually reads: "I can't make it! My strength is gone!" The "bat-hole" line is completely a modern photoshop edit circulating online as a meme.
