Batman's Greatest Boner

[tuvor]

If you think this is a sex thread, you have a dirty mind.

The year is 1951. And in Batman issue 66, the reader is given the special treat of... "Batman's Greatest Boner"!

1. Mighty queer

(to use the lexicon of the time)

[CanuckAmok]

2. Best. Headline. Ever. n/t

[ironflange]

3. Gasp. . . choke

That's the funniest damn thing I've ever seen! Tears are rolling!

[TroubleMan]

4. Robin's happiest moment

5. If this isn't a sex thread, then why is it funny?

I don't get it.

At first I thought it was an amusing double-entendre, but now that you've assured me that this isn't a sex thread, I'm mightily confused.

If it has nothing to do with sex, then I'm afraid I don't understand the joke.

6. Hahahahah...Ahh the innocence of the 50s

If you thought that was funny, check out this review of a 60s comic.

When I was a teen with the "Asian Vacation" in full swing, war comix were the thing.

With that, the review of..... "Tod Holton, Green Beret":

7. Oh my.

8. I don't get it.

I mean, the site is funny and all. But surely, they weren't talking about erections.

What was a "boner" in 1950s lingo?

[Sporadicus]

10. A 'Boner' Back Then Was a Gaffe

a blunder, an error.

[NV Whino]

11. In the 50s "boner" was some kind of outrageous mistake

I think, however, there is a slight bit of double entendre going on here... even for the "innocent" 50s.

12. ROTFLMAO

I think the best part was Robin saying "What does he mean, Bruce? How can he force you into a boner?" And Batman replies "I don't know. But whatever it is, it isn't good, that's for sure."

Please, please make it stop or I might laugh so hard I break a few ribs!
