Courtesy of Damian (think of him as the Perry White of this website):

“Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. One unintentionally funny place to see how words (and in some cases stereotypes) have changed are in old comic books. These are a few of the more obviously humorous panels from the past.”

OH.  Wrong on so many levels.

Mary Jane!  Your husband is RIGHT THERE!  Have you no shame?  (Thank you, comicallyvintage.tumber.com)

 

Don’t wanna be around the girls, Reggie?

Act out?  How?

Oh, I just had to ask.

Reggie amps up an argument by threatening to ride Jughead.  Let’s stop and think about this for a minute.  *Shakes head*

And it all leads to this…Ferdinand looks as disturbed as I do right now.

Merely Female?  Wow.

And Jughead Jones is no better!

Alien girls wear lipstick?  WHAT?

Butt Stroked?  That just sounds painful!
