Sex in comics! The top 100 strangest, suggestive and steamy vintage comic book panels of all time! I started with almost 100, but soon there'll be 1000 (depending on how much I want to avoid actual work)! Some are cheap shots, like using the words "gay," "dick," and "boner" when they originally meant something much different, or panels taken completely out of context for juvenile schoolyard tittering, and sometimes, actually very weird, completely IN context, takes on the relationship between the sexes from the viewpoints of the comic books writers and artists of '40s, 50s, 60s and 70s!

You've probably have already seen a few that have been floating around the internet for years, and many are first appearing here scanned from my bathroom library reading, but you'll have 'em all gathered in one place, the M.O'C Blog, for your prurient viewing pleasure!

    What exactly did boner mean anyway?

    • GawainLavers

      A cock-up.

    • http://twitter.com/mulveyr mulveyr

      Well, it used to mean “to make a mistake”, but I’m not clear as to whether that was the context in the example…

    • http://twitter.com/fossilfuels Funk Daddy

      according to the online etymology dictionary (not a stellar reference but handy) boner as in blunder is derived of bonehead and came first, it wasn’t until the 50′s that it was used for erect penis. 

      I’m not comic geek enough to even guess the decade of that batman panel :(

        “The Joker’s Comedy of Errors,” written by Bill Finger, drawn by Lew Sayre Shwartz, from Batman #66, August-September 1951. (I had an idea, but I had to Google it.)

    I’m surprised he missed this classic:

    Eat your heart out, Fredric Wertham.

    Lol, presumably ‘boner’ came into common use sometime after the first example.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Freethinkersanon Christopher

    It may be crass and juvenile, but I’m going to do my best to work the line, “That’s the second boner today! If I don’t think of something fast I’ll be a woman without a job” into conversation into the near future.

       Crass and juvenile?  Using boner in its archaic sense is me set up for laughs for the next month or so.

  • Jorpho

    Remember ol’ Superdickery.com ?  It was a sad day when it stopped updating.

  • garyg2

    Still my all time favourite (helps being a brit I guess…)

       CLASSIC.

    • Brainspore

      Whereas when Captain Britain throws a projectile at a henchman it makes the sound “JERK-OFF!“

  • noah django

    heh

  • Donald Petersen

    Good God, I can’t stop laughing at these!

    “Gosh Batman–remember this leather thong?  It still has your teeth marks in it!”

    More Batman (via Justice League).
