Not completely on topic, and also not really a comic panel, but Rick's description of the term "glip-glop" always makes me laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9Ebl9vEKx0&t=29s

I don't remember anyone saying that growing up, but there was a two year period in high school where a lot of people were using the word "jew" as a verb that was basically synonymous with "gypped."

There's an episode of South Park where Cartman uses that as a way to get under Kyle's nerves and I'd be willing to bet that it aired right about the time you're thinking of.

It was hosed up, a friend's girlfriend tried to justify it by saying that historical Jews were oppressed by Christians (true) and had to become sharp negotiators (debatable) and so it wasn't offensive (what the gently caress are you smoking?) The friend she was dating had the last name Cohen. Anyways, here's a funny panel. https://twitter.com/kenlowery/status/937080038557667328

^^^^^ That same story had Fury taking his belt off and beating a general's office, another funny panel ^^^^^Beachcomber posted:https://twitter.com/AgentM/status/936307472469544964 The goggles on the dog makes me think it's Wendell Rand's dog from his time as a tween in the Confederates of the Curious, where he learned about Kun Lun and the Iron Fist from Orson Randall, the Iron Fist before Danny Rand. That seems like a stretch though, how many people really know of that continuity, really?

goatface posted:^^oval office is probably the worst non-racial word in the UK. We just use it a lot because nothing else has weight. Yeah, I've heard it a few times where Americans think it's not that bad in the UK, and I have no idea where this comes from. I guess it can be used between friends, but you have to be really careful of the context. Like you said, it's one of the only words that can get a reaction out of someone, and if you call a stranger, a work colleague, or even a friend a oval office without establishing that it's OK, you'll be in a shitload of trouble.

When asked about the difference between writing for British and American comics, he talked about how editors paid more attention to different things, and specifically called out vocabulary; the quote was, if I'm remembering it correctly, "For example, there's the word 'oval office,' which in America is a word of great and terrible power, and in the UK is punctuation." This was in the late 90s when Preacher was a thing, so take that for what it's worth.

This topic about the C-Word reminds me of the comedian Reginald D. Hunter talking about meeting an Irish guy once. http://www.breakingnews.ie/discover/i-speak-irish-foul-mouthed-comedian-on-irelands-colourful-affection-649548.html (The link to the video is on this link.) And hey this involves a Comedian also known as a Comic. And he is funny, so I guess it counts as a Funny Comic panel.

 Not shown--Diana Prince tied to a sledgehammer and tossed into the back of an oil truck, which thugs fill with milk until she's almost drowning to get her to talk (which she doesn't, of course). Reading Golden Age Wonder Woman always leaves me feeling a little off--it's obvious you're reading someone's fetish made wholesome enough for children to read and digest. But in spite of that, or maybe because of it, the plots are pretty inventive and it sparkles in a way that a lot of golden age stuff just doesn't.

There used to be a gang racket for everything, and in some places there still is. There's a great story about how Jack Kirby faced down a mob representative who was trying to threaten the Marvel office into using the more expensive laundry service he owned a piece of.

While Marston/Marston/Byrne's Wonder Woman is undeniably sexually charged I think it's misleading to say they're making "fetish art." The comics were explicitly didactic texts outlining Marston's philosophy of gender and power which, whether you agree with it or not, doesn't make a lot of sense at all if the psychosexual elements of it are downplayed. The entire point is that in the utopian framework of Wonder Woman, power subdues more productively by making subjugation desirable rather than making it fearful. It's an often clumsy format for explaining a pretty idiosyncratic view of how violence works-- much like when Steve Ditko gets to philosophizing some decades later-- but I think to call it fetish art or masturbation material is selling it short.

Like, dude, you're the god of thunder, why are you so wrapped up in capitalism? Anyway, more tales from Thor, get ready for the terrifying origin of the Zaniac!    When will man's hubris of leaving open boxes of dynamite sitting around end?! Also another truly powerful Thor villain with the power to summon Pac Men!

Zaniac is the only weakish part of Simonson Thor. It's not bad by any means but it's a bit dull by comparison when it's sandwiched between either the Surtur story and Frog Thor or Frog Thor and the final arc where Thor is cursed by Hela.
