Comics Sans Context

Context is for the unfunny.

Odd comic panels: Kingpin's weird dog and Wolverine's really excitable beers.

Zoom on the crop in the second image doesn't help it at all.

"Our imaginations peopled the caverns with rare, dread beings..."

“The Quaking Horror”, Creepy #42, November 1971, written by Gardner F. Fox, art by Rafael Auraleón

"Goddamn it, I was hoping for an interesting answer to this mystery, but it turned out to just be another secret time war between superhumans and aliens."

<3 So proud of her for telling the Just-Us League that it can go fuck itself here <3

She doesn't need their approval to be a hero

She's already a better hero than anyone in that room

Especially the worthless space-pigs from the Green Lantern corps

[heydocverdant]

Honestly, Galaxy’s well within her right to ditch the League. She’d be in good company, there’s loads of heroes that have gotten fed up when the team plays politics out of arrogance

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

#this whole sequence reminds me of Jefferson Pierce turning down the League because they were really weird about offering him a seat#and by ‘really weird’ I mean ‘gaslit him with fake supervillains’ and ‘made a big deal about finally hiring a black person’

I love the bit in The Other History of the DCU where Jefferson is like "I literally got recruited to the Outsiders because I'm one of the only Black people Batman has ever spoken to and people wonder why I'm pissed off sometimes"

The Justice League

A group that had a member that was bright green before it had a Black guy

And was happy to give membership to a cishet woman made out of clay but a woman who'd had bottom surgery was too much for them to wrap their heads around

oog..

[rabbitscreams]

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

[rabbitscreams]

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

[rabbitscreams]

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

[gay-milton-quotes]

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.

I love the notes saying this femme knows exactly what she's doing and it's all part of her flirting technique. You get it.

Lest we forget "The Quilt" (not as funny, but worth a mention)

[mangolesbian-archive]

it’s a good think y’all have superbat, otherwise the batman superman ship name would be blark

[onemuseleft]

This is manman erasure

[honeyswtfits]

blark forever

[eggcup-deactivated20180129]

that thing about how removing the middle 2 panels of a cad comic makes it funnier is true 

[zonecassette]

holy shit

[severalowls]

I can’t even imagine what meaningless filler went into panels 2-3.

[newtypenea]

oh my god these are actually funny

[baishujinkou]

[moonkitty]

this is 100% true and once you remove the horrible filler bullshit its comedy gold
