Comically Vintage: Paleocomicologists with a Sense of Humor
Comically Vintage takes panels from our grandparents' comics and lets those panels stand alone in all their goofy, out of context glory. The site tends to stick to three main themes: over-the-top love and hate from romance comics, "jumping-gee-willikers" 1950s slang and the silly plot twists of Silver Age superhero comics. All three themes are comic gold and will make you want to go back to the classics to find some panels of your own.
And if you like these panels enough to want to own them in the three dimensional world, you're in luck! Comically Vintage has a store where you can buy old school comic book panels on mugs, mousepads, t-shirts and keychains. Keep reading to check out our favorite panels from the last month.
Update: We've been assured by Comically Vintage their store is legal.

Thanks for the great write up! That was something lovely to wake up to this morning.. :)
Just wanted to confirm that everything in our store is 100% legal and we have copyright clearance on every design. No bootlegging here!
Plenty more designs to come, too!
Thanks again :)

I'm sure everything is totally legit!
Ask the probability machine the chances of that.
Can't say I still don't want some of these either way...
From the blog: "We are not a comics museum; we are here to have fun and we do our best not to break any copyright laws."
Aww. But, but, but they're trying their best! It'd be one thing if it weren't for-profit, but I'm pretty sure if I shoplifted anything else it wouldn't do much good to say I'd tried not to.
