Uhhhh…what’s the context!?

UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 154 pts · 150d (19 replies)

Context is actually pretty much what we see here. She wants to get wrecked by a big strong man:

It actually gets pretty weird from there:

Origins of hentai...? 🧐

ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca · 15 pts · 150d

Well, it was part of the origins to the pornography censorship in Japan.

So, the beginning of a tentacle cuck journey. Popeye the Tentacuck. I'd say it aged well.

Popeye, would it kill you too get some spinach in you and make that Olive Oyl extra non-virgin? Don't complain if she dumps you for Brutus.

It's a pretty weird Tool song

samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 149d

It's even worse with context.

Blindfolding AND tentacles?? This is pure fucking gold

Had an ex like that with a SA fantasy. She broke up with me because I wouldn't pretend to rape her.

why not, did that not sit right with you ?

village604@adultswim.fan · 7 pts · 149d

Nope, I have no interest in raping anyone, even if it's role-play.

This is amazing

Do you happen to know the source? I'd like to add it to the post but I couldn't find it.

By the time this comic was published (12/19/1937), it was being distributed in thousands of newspapers. The original artist died the next year. It's possible this is from a book with a collection of Thimble Theater comics, the company that holds the copyright has made a few since then

Fwiw I don't see this comic on there but I found something else while looking:

Thanks! I saw the Thimble Theater, but the newspaper one was new to me. Added it to my post.

It is the 12/19/1937 Sunday Edition Thimble Theater comic. Not sure how widely syndicated it was but here is an auction listing for the page with a header from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Comic syndication is pretty damned weird and complicated, so I am not certain exactly who the official publisher is, but these were pretty widely distributed at the time so I expect that most papers that ran full color Sunday comics probably ran this one. Here is more reading about this piece of history:
