Wait, why does Superman have income? Has he been charging the people for his services this whole time?

He keeps sending bills to Lois and she just keeps paying them like an idiot.

Yeah, from back when they did the click bait comics.

He was saving up a million dollars to put in a safe he made of stone that was a trap.

He then returned all the money back.

Maybe there’s a shell company that Clark Kent makes payments to, and then Superman bills it for nonexistent super-services so that he can have some spending money while in costume.

But the minimum taxable income is $13K, so the only reason to run this scam would be if Superman was spending more than thirteen grand in costume, and that would raise so many more questions!

Like where does he put the money when in costume? He clearly doesn’t have pockets and I’ve never seen Superman carrying a bag of any sort.

I feel like they should just say Superman is Tax Exempt and call it a day.

Now that Superman claimed me as a dependent on his taxes, the government took away my HSA and I’ve gone headlong into CRIPPLING MEDICAL DEBT!

Thanks Superman!

I believe this comic panel contains all the context necessary.

Exactly. Clearly he has 2 billion kids - that’s why the world population is so high today and they call that generation the “Baby Boomers”.

Turns out their kryptonite was lead tho.

Nah, kryptonite weakens Superman. Their kryptonite is people criticizing them for anything ever.

Taxing a guy who saves the world on a regular basis seems rude.

Also, he fights for truth, justice and the American way, and what’s more American than finding a loophole to avoid paying taxes?

Well, he fights for the American way, but he’s actually technically a citizen of the Cayman Islands. His real name is Kal-LLC.

As I recall, the IRS agent ended up being a bit apologetic about the whole thing.

Out of Context Comics

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don’t be a dick.

  5. I can’t believe I’ve had to add this… NO RACISM.
