The first impulse of Our Heroine, upon finding horrible sticky white stuff around her lips and on her face, is to remonstrate with Marvin. Marvin, oh Marvin, whatever have you done? You naughty young man, you!
Sadly this is one of those images that defied my best efforts at provenancing, due to endless replication around the web. It has every appearance of being a legitimate comic book panel from many years ago, probably quite innocent in context. (Although, as we know, a great many comic book panels encoded deliberate double entendres drawn by bored perverts, long may we celebrate them!) But like many such, the site of its first appearance on the web is either long gone from web (the most likely scenario) or the person who first scanned and posted the image just slipped it into one of the many “funny/rude comics panels” articles in which it is still to be found, with no attribution. Usually I nail these down by letting one of the image search engines find the panel within its full page context (they are smart enough to do this, usually) but that only works if the entire page is scanned somewhere and also that scan has been spidered by one of the smarter image search engines (basically, Tineye, Google, or Yandex, all of which are lazy about scanning the entirety of large image collections where comics scans are to be found in bulk.) So, this time, I just could not turn up a provenance for the panel. I do think it’s real, though.
One amusing thing I did find during my provenance searching: a fan-art recreation of the panel in high-resolution brilliant colors, by Gwendal Uguen:
Now that white stuff looks nice enough to lick!
