    Plenty of comics from 50s onward have stuff intended innocently that reads strangely now or the story is just bizarre. Thought people might get a laugh.

    Are you 100% sure they were intended innocently? Maybe the writers were being a bit nod and wink knowing the references would go over the heads of the average reader...

    I read an article about Polari, which was a quasi-language used as a secret code by gays in England when that was illegal... there was a BBC Radio comedy series called Round the Horne in the 1960s which used some of the words mixed with English and Polari wasn't much use after that as a secret code :)

    Funnily most are genuinely innocent. Some of the early Wonder Woman bondage stuff isn't, although still shocking it got past the strict comic censors at the time who were too innocent themselves to cop it.

    Indeed. Wonder Woman's creator William Moulton Marston was a pretty kinky dude. An ardent feminist in a polyamorous relationship that was deeply into bondage and threw sex parties.


    Fun fact, he also invented and designed the polygraph test, or lie detector. That along with his other peccadilloes makes you look at Wonder Woman's 'lasso of truth' in a whole new light....

    Somewhere Red Skull's wife and kids are sitting weeks later saying "He said he was just going out to get more murder"

    I posted this before. Not panels, but page, just because of their ignorance of where they were set

    Superman lands in an oil field in Ireland (which is in Europe, in case you didn't know). He then proceeds to blow up the oil field while trying to defeat the bad guy. And this explains why we no longer have oil fields, I presume
