Out of Context Comics

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.

Not even sure if context would help

I got rather curious and Googled it.

https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Superman%27s_Pal,_Jimmy_Olsen_Vol_1_68

"The Human Metal-Eater!": After Jimmy is bitten by a Metal-Eater in the Fortress of Solitude, he gains the power to eat and digest metal for 48 hours.

The crooks use Jimmy Olsen's Signal Watch to trap Superman and Krypto in a submarine with the kryptonite; but Jimmy saves the day by eating the kryptonite, with a little lead on the side.

It doesn't help that much, no. He's gonna eat the whole sub, starting from the periscope..?

wait, kryptonite is a metal ? I always thought it's a mineral

As I understand that it mineral is a term for all inorganic terms found in the Earth and metal is a specific one.

But idk if is a "metal" per se. Perhaps there's comics where someone makes like a blade out of it idk.

Call a mineralogigilisist.
