As the site’s fearless leader, Damian, put it in the first of these posts:  ”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.”

It’s a little creepy having a super villain tell you to spend more time in bed.

You’d think Robin would be the expert on what turns Batman on.

Nuff said.

More inappropriateness after the jump…

Batman’s very concerned with Robin’s fetishes.

Whatever it is, there’s probably a cream or ointment for it.

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong if they make noise!

Who’s a worse human, Reggie or Veronica?  Kind of a toss up, if you ask me!

Superman challenges gender roles by baking!

While we’re talking gender roles, Sue Storm does nothing.  Stand up for yourself, lady!  You have super powers too!

No wonder she had a thing for Namor.  Reed acted like a jerk!

Captain America…determined to beat off every bad guy he meets!

Must.  Keep.  Mouth.  Shut.

Speaks.  For.  Itself.
