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.

Artist: What the hell does a "painless nerve tap" look like?

Writer: karate chop to the head

Artist: …fine

This comic was probably made using the Marvel Method: rough story outline came first, then the drawing, and lastly the specific phrasing of dialog and narration (followed by coloring, lettering, and editing).

The writer looked at that picture and said “yeah that looks like a painless nerve tap to me”

Painless and Nerve is not a thing. I have nerve pain and it feels like a lightning bolt struck my leg.

It is probably better to get a karate chop in nerve than to be permanently removed though.
