OUT OF CONTEXT HILARITY Part I

March 24th 2007 09:52
It's the height of cheap humour to take panels from old comic books out of context - but let it never be said that I am above a cheap gag. And so, I present this gem from Reed Richards, scientific genius, who is piloting a craft designed to shrink to microscopic size:



REED RICHARDS: "It's propelled by the speed of its own shrinkage, Ben!"


Of course, Mr. Fantastic. I'm sure it is.

hey, i like your blog!

you probably know about this already (i have a feeling i'm going to read back and feel like a dolt because there'll be some long post about it...) but just in case i'm wrong, i think you'd like this: http://www.ep.tc/intro.html

it's an incredible archive of old comics (among other things) - the AA comics and drug propaganda stuff are my favourites (check out Hooked! (1966) ) but horribly racist WW2 comics put out by the american government and atom-bomb hysteria make for great reading too)

enjoy!

I love comics out of context... sometimes you can't believe the writer wrote that... like the infmaous Batman 'boner' plot...

Thanks Ephemeron, I haven't seen that site before - I'll definitely be checking it out!

And yes, the Batman 'boner' issue is pretty funny.

Did Reed get his degree from the Institute for Mad Science? My satellite service has been offering a free preview of Boomerang, and I've been laughing myself silly over the old Superfriends cartoons. This frame reminded me so much of them...
