Teeth marks?
Accidental Innuendos in Comic Books.
- An infamous cover to an issue of Archie Comics has Archie responding to Betty that "I had to beat off three guys to get to you!"
- Reptil attempts to do Get A Hold Of Yourself Man to shake Hazmat out of her Heroic BSoD in Avengers Arena issue #11. The only problem is it looks like
he's attempting something else. - Batman:
- "Gosh Batman --Remember this leather thong? It still has your teeth marks in it!"
- Issue #66 from 1951, "The Joker's Comedy Of Errors" has what is probably the most (in)famous case of Have a Gay Old Time. Throughout the issue, the word "boner" is repeatedly tossed around. In the comic, this was in the context of Joker deciding to theme his crimes after history's mistakes and force Batman to make a mistake, since "boner" back then meant "silly error". From a modern perspective, it gives us uproarious gems like this:
Commissioner Gordon: Batman! We've got to stop the Joker! Those boner crimes are making us look bad! And I'm worried about the boner he's readying for you! - "Gosh Batman --Remember this leather thong? It still has your teeth marks in it!"
- This panel◊, and Sensei's strangely erotic play-by-play of unlocking a door while sweat pours down his face..Sensei: Ahh. The blood flows outward and back again. Each element to each element binding. Dis-weighting... Lubricating... Feel... Feel... Feel... Tiny offset crystal borrowing lubrication... Now I can "see". Deeper inside. Aha. The tumblers are mis-balanced. Just so much. Each molecule... adds... and adds, apply pressure, up, then down, and down again. Now. Umphhh. Ah. Slowly... slowly...
- One of the villains of the Dan Garrett Blue Beetle is the crime boss Big Dix.
- Bone:
- Big Johnson Bone, from Stupid Stupid Rat Tails. Think about his name a bit.
- "OH MY GOD! THEY'VE ALREADY MILKED YOU, HAVEN'T THEY?!!" And on page 69, no less...
- A Captain America panel had the misfortune of using "WANK" as the sound effect for Cap's shield hitting a robot. To make things worse, the immediately preceding text was "Captain America, I command you to—" with the sound effect cutting off the last word and making it look like the baddie was commanding Cap to wank.
- Chick Tracts
- A character is "trapped in a dungeon of bondage".
- Bad boys had mean plans for Betsy's kitty.
- A character is "trapped in a dungeon of bondage
- Scrooge McDuck and Carl Barks (in commentary outside the comics) refer to Magica de Spell as a "slinky sorceress". They must mean the first definition, right? Although the other definition works, too…
- The Far Side had a cartoon of a triumphant dog howling over its freshly killed prey - an overturned car, with the caption "When Car Chasers Dream". According to Gary Larson, he was attempting to show his work by drawing a protruding piece of machinery right where the dog's crotch area happened to be. Much angry reader mail followed, including a comment from a friend of "Holy Crap! The dog's humpin' the car!"
- A blatantly obvious one in Garfield: His 9 Lives: BIG BOB CUM!
- Garfield:
- In this strip, Garfield is choking a (rubber) chicken. Noisily. Even if you haven't heard of that euphemism, the way he's doing it is plenty suggestive. And Jon says he's going to "wring [his] rubber chicken's neck" in the next panel.
- "Wow... Van Gogh cut off his ear for the woman he loved! ...I wonder what I could cut off?"
- In this
- In Hellboy, Herman von Klempt's last words are "No! Not like this! The worm... I want to see the worm!" He's talking about the wormlike Eldritch Abomination that he's dedicated his life to summoning, but... yeah.
- Giant Size Man-Thing.
- Lampshaded in Marvel Year in Review 1993:Hey, remember how last year we did all those jokes about how lame those X-Factor villains called the Riders of the Storm were, and how no-one would ever bring them back? So then they all came back in X-Cutioner's Song, only now they call themselves the Dark Riders. It seems that Storm complained to management.
- Mickey Mouse, you raunchy cad!◊
- Similar to the show its based on, the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic comics are getting in on it too. Take a look at this one scene from the comic without the rest of the page to put it in context, and I dare you not to laugh.
- A Comics Code-era Nick Fury comic features a page where Fury and the Countess were kissing. Artist Jim Steranko was censored by the Code all the time, to the point that on that same page, he had to redraw a phone so that it was on its hook, because a phone off the hook was just too risqué. So obviously, when he drew a panel of Fury and the Countess embracing, it had to get replaced. Some fellow decided to grab a zoomed-in shot from another panel and put it in their place. What went there? Why, Fury's gun, in its holster. After a page of him and a woman without much clothing kissing. Steranko apparently laughed his ass off when he heard about it.
- Scott Pilgrim: Many people have noticed Scott Pilgrim's testicles. Made funnier because, as the Major Spoilers review of Volume 6 pointed out, "Scott Pilgrim Grows a Pair" would be a pretty fitting alternate title... It's actually possible that this innuendo was not accidental at all.
- In the Sin City story "Hell and Back", Wallace is in a car chase with Blue Eyes in the passenger seat. When the bad guys are about to open fire on them he tells her to get her head down, so she, well...
- Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Lupe comes from the word Lupa, which is Latin and means either she-wolf, or, well...
- This◊ Spider-Man cover. Whoa Petey, cold shower much? It's supposed to be his knee, but damn, bad placement. Made worse by the two teenage girls in the background.
- Spirou & Fantasio: In this picture◊, taken out of context, Fantasio wakes up, apparently in the same bed as Spirou. He's covered in a whitish dripping liquid. He shouts "The condom! We forgot the condom!" (capote means both hood and condom). In context, Fantasio and Spirou are sleeping in a castle ruin, two separate beds. They used pieces of tarpaulin to keep themselves from the rain, except the one above Fantasio suddenly ripped and unloaded buckets of water on him. He wakes up shouting "The hood! We forgot the hood!" (on the car, to protect it from rain).
- Superman:
- The cover of Superboy (1949) #55 features Superboy getting spanked by the principal. Extra points for said principal being good ol' Pa Kent, both Clark and the kids watching having surprisingly giddy faces, and the issue being titled "The Secret of Smallville High".
- In Superboy (1949) #36, Lana Lang is adopted by the Kents for a brief period of time. In the cover, featuring Superboy carving a turkey and cutting it into thin slices, we have the next dialogue:Superboy: "Meat coming up, Lana!"
Lana Lang: (thinking) Gosh, it's wonderful having Superboy for your brother!'' - In Demon Spawn, Supergirl is fighting off a Mind Rape and losing her mind when she feels "something good rushing inside her (mind)". She describes it as "something warm and comforting". It's her then-Love Interest Geoff, who is trying to contact her mentally. Supergirl thinks "Yes! That's it! You're getting there! You're getting through!" as she writhes. And Geoff thinks in turn that "This is hard work, but I'm making it!"
- In Supergirl (1972) #2, Linda blows a bottle◊.
- In Action Comics #270, Superman asks his sixteen-year-old cousin to take off her clothes◊. In context, he wants his cousin to put on her civilian clothes because he is going to give her a costume-compressing device and he needs to show her how it works. Taken out of context... well...Superman: Take off that Supergirl costume right now! And remove those boots, too!
- In Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man: In this panel they are talking about fighting◊ not Superman being rather too excited to finally meet Spidey:Spider-Man: (to Superman) How'd you get so hard so suddenly?
- In The Great Phantom Peril, Mr. Porter is instructed by who he believes to be his dead wife's ghost to steal a figurine and rub it as hard as possible while thinking about her.
- In The Last Days of Superman, Lois Lane and Lana Lang have been told Superman is dying from an incurable illness, and are resigned to mourn him together:Lana Lang: Lois... We've been rivals for years... How will we ever forget Superman?
Lois Lane: I know, Lana dear... We must comfort each other! - World's Finest (1941): In issue #71, Clark and Bruce's chat about swapping identities temporarily sounds awkward out of context:Superman: "Hmm.. If we fit each other's roles as well as we do each other's costumes— we'll do fine. Though, frankly, yours is the harder job!"
- At the end of The Untold Story of Argo City, Allura remarks her daughter Kara "misses the gay times she had as Linda Danvers." Meaning "she misses to hang out with her friends."
- Supergirl's Three Super Girl-Friends was written in 1961, when "girlfriend" was still widely used to describe "female acquaintance" rather than almost exclusively "female lover", making the instances of Supergirl wishing for a girlfriend, and deciding "[Superman] won't mind [her] having these girls for girl-friends", sound like she is wondering if her cousin will approve of her all-female harem.
- In "The Super-Steed of Steel", Supergirl wondering about having her own Cool Horse sounds definitely more excited than what the writer intended:
Linda Danvers: "I keep thinking about Firebrand! Oh, wouldn't it be exciting if I could have a wonder horse for my own? The fun we could have together! Gosh, just thinking about it gives me goose flesh! I hope I can fall asleep tonight!" - The cover
- Teen Titans:
- On more than one occasion during The New Teen Titans era, Nightwing would let Jericho, whose power was to possess people, possess him with the words: "Joey, get inside me!"◊
- Here Starfire yells◊ "I love Dick! Dick! I love Dick!" Referring to Dick Grayson, of course.
- On more than one occasion during The New Teen Titans era, Nightwing would let Jericho, whose power was to possess people, possess him with the words: "Joey, get inside me!"
- The "Starscream won't come out of the closet" conversation in part 2 of The Transformers: Dark Cybertron.
- X-23:
- The entire "fight" between her and The Punisher in Red Hulk #15◊ and #16.◊ Considering how out-of-character and sub-par they're both fighting coupled with a lot of one liners, double entendre and the general Foe Romance Subtext vibe, especially the fact that X-23 is sitting on a pool table with her legs spread facing him, led many fans joke that it was actually just rough foreplay and they got it on afterwards.
- She and Jubilee had this little moment together in X-23#10. If you didn't actually read the issue, that scene would really make you wonder.
- The entire "fight" between her and The Punisher in Red Hulk #15
- On the part of Youngblood (Image Comics)'s creator; The hero's codename is Shaft?
- This cover showing someone getting hit over the head with a long sausage which is held in a very suggestive manner.
- Richie Rich makes sure a girl enjoys a golden shower.
- Peyo's Poussy comic strip, which was renamed Pussycat for English audiences.
- The cover of issue #7 of Disney/Marvel's The Little Mermaid comic shows Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian engulfed in a lot of green and leafy stuff with the title "Weed Worries!". No, folks, it's just fast-growing seaweed, nothing illicit here... except there's a spectacularly stoned-looking fish in the corner of the cover, lazily munching away.
- The cover corner title of the first issue of Marvel Two-in-One (after becoming a distinct series) is misspelled "Marvel Two-on-One". The Thing's guest star this time happens to be the aforementioned Man-Thing.
