Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
-
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
-
Single panels are preferred.
-
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
-
Don't be a dick.
-
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

Lately, I've been reading a lot of light novels, and I've almost given up on reading ones written by men. (The reason I'm calling out LNs specifically is that I think they have a lot less editing than the usual novel.) The one I'm currently reading, even in side stories supposedly from a woman's perspective, every time a woman's character is introduced, we get to learn exactly how big her boobs are. Women are apparently always obsessed with other women's bust sizes. Also, sweets. All women apparently constantly eat as many sweets as they can get their hands on.
It's as if a woman's looks boil down to: age, ethnicity, hair style, hair color, body size/shape, and boob size.
If we're lucky, we might get eye color. But never any facial details. Never any description of the shape of eyes, mouth, or nose.
what’s a “light novel?”
A light novel (Japanese: ライトノベル, Hepburn: raito noberu) is a type of popular literature novel from Japan usually classified as young adult fiction, generally targeting teens to twenties or older. The definition is very vague, and wide-ranging but it generally refers to a story accompanied with manga-style illustrations, often in black and white.
Lots of manga and anime are based on light novels. They often have a lot of volumes. For example, my favorite LN is Ascendance of a Bookworm, whose main story has 33 volumes.
Hey, that’s my favorite too!
