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.

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

Now, sometime back, I noted that it had been falling in to obscurity, and figured that I'd make an effort to help get it going again, according to FlyingSquid's et al original vision. Cool. So in the past two months I've been working to build up my 'out of context' folder of panels and figure out what the hell to title them as... something which can be surprisingly tricky to pull off! Cool. Across that time I've also posted just under two-dozen funnies here. All good?

Unfortunately, and I really don't know WTF is going on with all that... people are now posting shizzle here that directly breaks multiple rules of the community, and others are upvoting such shizzle to the max, and TBH-- I guess that's cool and all, but I'm just not interested in such low-effort crap. Me, I'm here for the original spirit of the community, but I guess many are not? Fine.

Now, if you REALLY must know upon an egregious example?

"Hofmaimaier@feddit.org," fake name used by @nichehervielleicht@feddit.org:
https://piefed.social/c/outofcontextcomics/p/1953797/bill-is-right

Obviously breaks RULE #1, and to a lesser extent, RULES #2 and #3.

And YET people here upvote that low-effort crap? Okay, got it. Fine. Big part of why I'm going to need a long vacation from this project.

Now do I sound bitchy and uncool upon all that? Absolutely, fluffing-yes. But damn it, I thought I'd tried.

Keep submitting too

Absolutely not.

I did my best, and you can do whatever you want to upon my efforts. Maybe in half a year I'd be willing to revisit this shitshow of a failing premise. That's up to you, though.
