Out of Context Comics

I really love the concept of this place, according to the specific vision laid out in the sidebar. It’s a damn fertile premise, with loads of fun to be had, methinks. :D

I think this narrowly flits past rule three. IIRC, the original comic was going for more of an ironic / macabre thing, not so much for humor.

As I understand it, the late*, great Flying Squid founded this sub and posted many fine gems like this, captioned skillfully. You can see a lot of these if you go to the community page and sort by “old.” Indeed, that’s how I found this one. These ‘golden-age’ and ‘silver-age’ comics panels almost write themselves, being from such a different age and having such different sensibilities.

The Amazing Spider-Man, Annual (1982)

Charlton Bullseye (1981)

A robot wearing a toupee?

“And you? Where’s your little mark?”

FUN FACT: Mutual gender-attraction is utterly common across nature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals

From Treasure of the Sierra Madre I think it was, featuring Bogie: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iP_LTDggATU

The title is based on two different sources: 1) An SNL skit called “Delicious Dish,” featuring Alec Baldwin as Pete Schweddy, offering tasty culinary items; 2) A Southpark song sung by Isaac Hayes as “Chef.”

Title Strange Fantasy #1

Man looking at film strip claiming, “There! Every one is clear as a bell!” his friend asks, “How’d that one of me milking a cow, turn out?”

This comic is only a mediocre fit here, but I thought it worth posting just for some cultural fun. It’s originally a Danish comic called “Rasmus Klump.”

(Sorry, finding English original on Disney comics is pretty damn hard. This is a retranslation.)
