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.

    Tried looking at Secrets of Love and Marriage and some other similar ones on digitalcomicmuseum.com. Mostly a bust, the genre tends to be really wordy and also just bad. I did find this, but context actually makes it worse. It looks normal, but the context is that they’re pretty much step siblings:

      Yeah, the romance comics can be a real slog. You’ll find you’re likely to have more fun with the horror, mystery and superhero comics.
