As requested, here are some places to look. Golden age comics are the best for this sort of silly stuff and many are public domain, so there are multiple places to look for them. Be warned, it is overwhelming. They churned out comics back then like they were gum wrappers.

Feel like wading through the mess of the Internet Archive if you like: https://archive.org/details/comics

If you wish to brave the evil that is Reddit, there is: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoldenAgeComics/

If anyone has other resources, feel free to add them. Please no pirate sites, there’s a lot of “read today’s comics online for free” sites which would violate lemmy.world ToS.

    I’ve been going through old Archie comics, and there’s a lot of fakes and edits. Is it worth creating a sticky thread for posting about those when we find them?

      I don’t see why not, but don’t think it will stop people from posting them any more than the rule 3 thread stops those.

        Not so much for stopping people from posting, but more a handy reference / interesting collection of fakes/edits/etc. I’ll create the post and if it doesn’t carry its weight, we can unsticky it
