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.

Funnily enough, this actually isn't terribly far from the truth.

"Google" is officially a misspelling of "googol", which is the name for the number 10^100^.

But then "googol" was coined as a word by a 9-year-old in 1920 (to be used by his mathematician uncle). And it's possible that this 9-year-old was inspired by the contemporary comic strip character Barney Google:

So, "Google" might be a misspelling of a misspelling of "Google". 🙃
