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.

In that issue, the character is Jane Rassle (a parody of Jane Russell?) and there's a magazine called EH! (and she's in the centerfold of that magazine). So I'm guessing that this was a reference to her being an "it" girl, but since the origin of it girl meant not flaunting her sexuality, an EH!T girl would be flaunting her sexuality. I mean, look at the drawing. The meaning of it girl changed in the 80s.
"Since the 1980s, the term "it girl" has been used slightly differently, referring to a wealthy, normally unemployed, young woman who is pictured in tabloids going to many parties often in the company of other celebrities, receiving media coverage in spite of no real personal achievements or TV hosting / presenting."
