"Bakunintin" gag redacted

Sometimes living in a very small market for secondhand English books has its advantages. You do get to see an awful lot of the weirder stuff that people brought to Tokyo and then tired of. Like Answers in Genesis, for instance, and comic books that include panels like this:

And I don't even need to explain what's going on here, because the whole thing is online. (Really should have checked that before I got the scanner out.)

Justin:

What the heck is Captain Haddock doing getting his ass kicked? It should be the other way around!

IbaDaiRon:

Occupational hazard.

That or just a seriously sick/dirty mind?
