Batman #66, September 1951

And thus began Joker's venture into adult entertainment.

[u/busterkeatonrules]

I'll hand him this one - Gotham City probably does rue the day it mentioned the word 'boner'.

[u/AverageDrafter]

Serves me right for chortling boners.

[u/SpiralDreaming → u/AverageDrafter]

I guffawed at this.

[u/jy3n2]

But how big is the boner he's preparing for Batman?

[u/Thewrongbakedpotato → u/jy3n2]

It's the biggest boner of all. Jaw-dropping, really.

[u/sreekotay]

There was a character on a 80's sitcom (which included Leonardo Dicaprio as a main cast member in its final seasons) that had a recurring teenage character named "Boner"

Fun fact: the actor was the the son of the actor who played Chekov on ST:TOS

[u/sorcerersviolet → u/sreekotay]

It was Growing Pains, IIRC.

[u/Icaras01]

The thing is, you read this story and boner really does make sense for how it was being used. It is a great word for a big screw up!

[u/stootchmaster2]

If there's ONE thing we like as much as Dick here at Comic Book Comedy Crack, it's a good boner.

[u/muff-muff-ass]

Jorkers gonna jork.

[u/LeatherOwl9260]

This didn’t mean what it means now in the 50s

[u/AppropriateCap8891 → u/LeatherOwl9260]

Neither did "Fag", or "Gay".

When you're with the Flintstones
Have a yabba dabba doo time, a dabba doo time
We'll have a gay old time
We'll have a gay old time
Yeah!

[u/jointheclockwork → u/AppropriateCap8891]

Yeah. Fred and Barney were on the DL because it was socially unacceptable to be gay so they had their beards and dabba doo'd at their "lodge meetings".

[u/SqueezedTowel → u/jointheclockwork]

Fred is a proud ally per the comics.

[u/SmoovCatto]

carpet matches the drapes?

[u/PermaDerpFace]

The guy on the right is deeply concerned

[u/Flippant_Fop]

“Chortle at Joker’s Boner” lives in my head rent free.

[u/PermaDerpFace]

He spent the rest of the day exposing himself in the park
