10 Things Comic Fans Found Too Distracting

8. Phallic Imagery

So it's worth saying from the offset that this one is a bit of a doozy.

As long as humanity has been able to draw, we've been drawing genitalia as a bit of a laugh. It's borderline instinct - which is why you're as likely to find phalluses drawn in ancient Latin translations as you are a teen's school notebook.

Naturally, this doesn't stop being a thing when it comes to art. Long have artists been hiding phallic imagery in animations, murals, and even comics - well, actually, especially comics.

And, as invested in the comic as you may be, it's hard to not be distracted by a casual spot of symbolic genitalia popping up where you least expected it. This is especially hilarious when it's totally accidental, as this has been known to accidentally occur in plenty of comics, especially when sketchy stuff like tentacles or cannons appear.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
