Funniest comic strip from Golden Age - Joker's Boner
1 1

"Boner" used to mean "mistake" or "foul up". When I was a kid.

 

Still does among genteel folk. Fans of baseball history will be familiar with "Merkle's boner."

Some old-time baseball groupies were probably familiar with it as well.

Funniest comic from Batman 66 (1951 or 1952 I think)

 

Yep.

I got the same book a few weeks ago and didn't realize its contents until afterwards. I think these books and the change in slang are priceless.

I am quite pleased to raise this thread from the dead to contribute. I thought there was some other thread with more examples, but I've just done a search for BATMAN BONER and JOKER BONER, and my search history now needs to be scrubbed. Before I go, this, from Miss America v7 n38. Georgie being in bed and dreaming of Jeanie in a nurse's outfit is just <kisses fingers>...
