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.

Looks like this came from a publication I haven't heard of before, called Evergreen Review. They've been around a while, this is from the June 1967 issue:

They've gone defunct a few times since then, but they've come back and they're still around: https://evergreenreview.com/

They've published some interesting pieces of history, here's the start of one:

God's Judgment of White America

Malcolm X

On December 1, 1963, about two weeks after President Kennedy's assassination, Malcolm X addressed a public rally at Manhattan Center in New York City.

Originally, the speaker was to have been Mr. Elijah Muhammad, but the Muslim leader canceled his plans and Malcolm X spoke in his place. The following is the second half of the speech that he gave. At the time, the ideas expressed were considered harshly extremist, yet time has made Malcolm X's position the position of many American black men today.

In his Autobiography, Malcolm X tells how Mr. Muhammad issued two directives that Muslim ministers were to refrain from discussing President Kennedy's assassination. It was right after this speech that Malcolm X, in a question-and-answer period, made the remark that led to his suspension as a Muslim minister. In answer to the question, ''What do you think about President Kennedy's assassination? What is your opinion?" Malcolm X answered, "without a second thought," as he puts it in his Autobiography, that he saw it as a case of "the chickens coming home to roost," a remark which made headlines throughout the country. Immediately afterward, Malcolm X was suspended by Elijah Muhammad and directed to stop speaking for ninety days. Soon after, his break with the Muslims was complete and permanent.

The speech has never appeared anywhere before. It is taken from Malcolm X's own hand corrected copy.

White America is doomed! Death and devastating destruction hang at this very moment in the skies over America. But why must her divine execution take place? Is it too late for her to avoid this catastrophe?

Here's an out-of-context bit from another one, to fit this community:
