Comic books, the cornerstone of any geeky youth. I (vaguely) remember the days when I would eagerly buy any comic book I could afford, usually either something Marvel or one of many random titles. I was actually pretty young when I stopped caring about comic books and started reading slightly more challenging fair (I read a novel by paleontologist Robert Bakker when I was in elementary school. Raptor Red, a really strange book if I remember correctly.) Anyway, still, comic books proved a valuable part in the first growing spurts of my love of reading.
Thus, when I came across one of my forgotten favorite websites, I found my childhood once again laid waste. Sort of.
May I present, SuperDickery.com
I say sort of, because most comics featured on the website come from before I was even born. However, it's still one of the most hilarious websites on the internet. Comic books are naturally bizarre, but sometimes the weirdness exceeds itself into hilarity. The website started by showing old Superman comics where Superman was being, well, a dick. The site has expanded to cover other randomness in old comics, including war propaganda and unintentional corrupting of the youth. The war propaganda is especially interesting for history buffs, as it really shows both the national attitude during past wars and some of the sheer racism exhibited (watch for the character named "Whitewash.")
What follows are some choice examples from the site. There's a wealth more to be found on the site itself, so please go and enjoy laughing at the absurdity of it all. (Comments with pictures are taken from the website as well.)
"Superman's Catholic?"
" Having them mention boner once or twice is mildly funny. But the factthat they just kept on saying it made me shoot Coca-Cola out my nose."
