    Pulling anything from The Invisibles is just plain cheating. Anything Grant Morrison wrote, really.

      That’s why I went with a tamer panel.

        big time fucking up peoples’ guts

        At first I thought this was a sex thing, then I started reading and thought it would be a violence thing. Then I kept reading, and I became enlightened.

      Thank you for this. I saw a picture of Spider Jerusalem on a counter culture flyer over a decade ago and couldn’t find the source (I wanted those sweet glasses). When I read Invisibles I assumed I found it and it must’ve been Mob from some promo or alt art.

      It was definitely Spider Jerusalem, I found the glasses, and now I get to read Transmetropolitan.

      Even closer than that to being King Mob from The Invisibles.

      Edit: based on what other people have posted, it is King Mob. I’ll see myself out.

    Maybe it depends on whether Grant Morrison intended this to be funny…?

    …or would it depend on whether King Mob thought this was funny? 😱 Fuck, you’re giving me Invisibles PTSD Flashbacks

      In context, it is a straightforward, accurate explanation. Mob is just filling him in on simple facts.

    I mean, getting shot in the throat has a way of doing that.

      I suppose in a sense our life is a trance, traveling forward through time, and the coordinated nervous rhythms of our vital organs are “mantras” that maintain it.

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.
