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.

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”
Star Trek writers laughing after getting away with the pinch
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.
Can't help but read this in Bill and Ted voice.
Most triumphant!
Two famous nerve taps that are both painless and liable to render someone cooperative:
- the head
- the prostate
I think they drew the wrong kind of head?
But…but…Jack Kirby!
That man, Albert Einstein.
He's unconscious, he's not going to be cooperating on anything!
batman: unzips
Doesn't work for me - if you want to render me cooperative, i need the pain!
