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.

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.
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!
We can thank Carl Barks for the upgrade from the cartoons.
Carl gave Donald about a 30-point IQ boost along with fixing the speech impediment.
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!
And I don't know about the recent reboot, but the Ducktales cartoon from the 80s adapted a lot of Barks stories.
The 2017 reboot is excellent (arguably better than the 80s series), and adapts stories by Carl Barks as well as Don Rosa.
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.
