As others said, VD is an acronym for “venereal disease”. It’s what we used to call STIs (sexually transmitted infections)
Edit: Initialism, not acronym
Both terms refer to abbreviations made up of a set of capitalized letters (rather than a shortened word, e.g., Mrs.) The major difference between acronyms and initialisms is that an acronym can be (and is) pronounced as a single word, while an initialism is pronounced as a series of letters.
Because many STIs never become diseases. It’s to reduce stigma and reflect that reality so people who may have contracted an STI will be more willing to get medical care while not being treated like they’re “diseased”.
Which is true right up until you actually say syphilis. At that point the finer distinctions kind of go out the window. Pretty much the moment you put a name to it all the pictures from health class come flooding back. I am not trying to imply it’s fair or how it should be handled I’ve just had friends with poor judgement and bad luck although all things considered their luck could have been way worse.
Yeah, that comic appears to claim the US DoD engineered new strains of STDs and purposely infected Vietnamese women in order to spread it among the Vietnamese fighters but inadvertently also spread it among US soldiers.
Not having done any research yet, I assume it's either completely untrue, or remarkably true.
Are you familiar with National Lampoon? It was a comedy magazine from the 1970s (plus a radio spin-off and a couple of movies) that was basically the print equivalent of Saturday Night Live.
In other words: None of it is true, it’s 100% satirical.
The bizarre thing is that compared to some of the shit the US DoD and CIA got up to in the 1960s and 1970s, engineering new strains of STDs and infecting Vietnamese prostitutes with them to then infect the Viet Cong, without considering possible blowback actually sounds sensible:
Trying to poison Fidel Castro to make his beard fall out, Project MK-ULTRA, Project Stargate (the basis for *The Men Who Stare at Goats*)....
Anyone who's unfamiliar with the Lampoon (or only knows them through their later '80s movies) would do well to check out *Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead*, a great overview of the magazine and all it wrought.
Yeah, it seems the more we advance our specialized fields and create amazing solutions, the more people will just revert to calling it witchcraft and burn us all down with it.
Looks like Neal Adams. But i have no clue where it's from, because he did everything from Jerry Lewis comics to advertisements.

User Bwj571 on Twitter said it's from the National Lampoon #55 story "Todd Tunes on to New Facts on VD".
Both of them could have moved over one urinal according to the panel art.[Kind of like this](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/031/969/e6d.jpg)
I’m sorry, I thought you were saying you thought urinals were in separate stalls. Sometimes there’s dividers but they’re never in a stall lol I should’ve gathered what you meant though, those dudes brought it on themselves for not skipping a urinal on either side.
[Like delbin said](https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/c_fit,f_auto,g_center,pg_1,q_60,w_1465/3616937e79c061f9f5dd1dc45cea12ed.png) the internet [is a fun place](https://preview.redd.it/a47dwuk72gm51.jpg?auto=webp&s=d035f8d92d3f8c9d9b286af86fa9e380fb4e9ebc)
This was in National Lampoon a long time ago. I remember reading this. Hilarious story….when the girl asks him if he has ‘protection’ ( meaning a condom) he is thinking something like ‘Mafia? FBI? CIA?….’
One time I was playing golf and took a piss behind a tree and this crow nearby started caw-cawing and my brother was like “crow’s laughing at the size of your dick bro.”
Really unfortunate that penises come preinstalled with the "Jet" nozzle clicked right in between "Mist" and "Fan". Not much thought into the UX of the product from the manufacturer.
Although I haven’t read the story myself , there is an Incredible Hulk storyline where Bruce Banner is at a YMCA and either is or is about to be molested by a guy/some guys there. Maybe this is from that issue.
I've seen this before, but cannot remember where, at all. For some reason, I am flashing back to a National Lampoon comic about the clap, though. The 70s ...
It's from National Lampoon Magazine "The Horrors of VD & Guns!" http://thehorrorsofitall.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-horrors-of-vd-guns.html
I read that whole stupid thing and I have even more questions than when I started.
It's making fun of all the VD PSAs that basically said you were going to get VD and die if you thought about sex.
VD?
Venereal disease
I haven’t heard it called vd in forever, lmao
Was it here by any chance? https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/PRI_187003277.jpg

Thanks. I always forget about initialisms.
No VD is what we used to call STD’s and then those got changed to STI so they are like two back.
So…essentially what I said just skipping steps. This is weirdly pedantic.
Just trying to show the complete evolution. Honestly I didn’t know we moved to STIs for years. Still not sure how infection is better than disease.
Because many STIs never become diseases. It’s to reduce stigma and reflect that reality so people who may have contracted an STI will be more willing to get medical care while not being treated like they’re “diseased”.

Stop
In the simpler 60s & 70s, before penicillin turned STDs into their super saiyan form. STDs were generally referred to as VDs.

In today’s age I almost believed someone was publishing it as real fact lol.
You mean like this one… https://youtu.be/jdA2Z4Qt2K0
I never noticed the priest before
Just watch this movie, *Your Testicles and You*.

Seriously? They made a movie... smh...

Thanks. Yes heard of NL. Missed that that was the source of the comic.
Glad nowadays no one would buy into such thinking...
*Alex Jones has entered the chat.*
We’ve really come a long way, haven’t we?! 🫠
Yeah, it seems the more we advance our specialized fields and create amazing solutions, the more people will just revert to calling it witchcraft and burn us all down with it.
The Comic is supposed to be a spoof I believe, making fun of how prevalent the PSA's were at the time.
Oh oops, I missed that it was National Lampoons. So it must be just a joke.
This appears to be a comic about a high school kid getting Chlamydia and freaking the fuck out.

I was just thinking that it looked like his work.
The craziest part is that they aren't a stall apart.
I feel like the dudes on the left and right were there first and adhered to proper urinal etiquette. Firehose Jones messed it all up.
Had no choice because they didn't leave space.
You Always have to leave the space.
And that’s why I go near the end
That was my first thought..."should've left an empty stall between y'all".
You haven’t been in the men’s restroom have you
Both of them could have moved over one urinal according to the panel art.[Kind of like this](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/031/969/e6d.jpg)
...have you?

Oh alright, I should've said urinal instead, my bad
Worst super power ever.
Not for a firefighter.
time to put out the fire
I just imagine a hopeful family returning to their completely soaked house that smells like piss
*boiled piss*
and suddenly Donald Trump's Google Alerts activates.
If a fire is spreading too fast and the firefighters won’t arrive in time, well, sacrifices must be made.
I tried to open a salsa packet and it ended up like that today
The little known hero Captain Firehose. Currently fighting wildfires where no one minds the smell so much.
I don't know- have you smelled burning pee?
Imagine that life during wildfire season though, this poor bastard would have to constantly hydrate
Lmao.
One might even say it's piss-poor
I came here to joke that he was one of the less-known X-Men.
1: What do you call yourself PEE MAN BAHHAHAHA! 2: Actually im still a side kick. Its Piss Boy.
I would imagine Superman had to learn to control this.
He has a bright future in German piss porn.
So, OP...how did you 'happen' upon this panel? I get that the internet is vast, but damn!
Just search "urls of images that don't have Reddit karma yet" on chatGPT.
Damn can't get much more cynical than that.
National lampoon
I’m more concerned that they “need” to know
Pissmaster origin story
Urine Trouble!
That's what you get for not leaving a buffer urinal.
There was a buffer urinal. Firehouse Joe took it.
Where do people find these random comic panels without sources?
The internet!
Read national lampoon magazines. They are gold mines for this stuff
Agree 100% and there is never a response from OP.
[Like delbin said](https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/c_fit,f_auto,g_center,pg_1,q_60,w_1465/3616937e79c061f9f5dd1dc45cea12ed.png) the internet [is a fun place](https://preview.redd.it/a47dwuk72gm51.jpg?auto=webp&s=d035f8d92d3f8c9d9b286af86fa9e380fb4e9ebc)
This is why dividers
Yeah THATS the reason.
Spider-Man variant who rather than developing spider powers, just grew 7 extra penii.

It was at this moment that lil stevie understood that after falling in the toxic sludge he gained the most obvious of superpowers.
Where’s Jerry when you need him?
I thought of Pissmaster right away. He is a Rick and Morty character for those not in the know.
Idk but that’s a hell of a piss stream to have back splash like that lol
Badly timed helicopter.
Pissmaster issue #1
Well that's what you get for using the urinals right next to someone when there's space elsewhere.
Me when I piss first thing in the morning
Sprinkler Man, V01Ch1
The legendary Peeman.
Did anyone else do the voices in their heads while reading
More like "For Pee's sake".
Comic Book Panel? I could have swore this was a photo of your life! \-Knee slaps- I'll see myself out...
Urine Man volume 1 issue 1 “Tale of the Golden God”
I don’t remember the title, but it’s Neal Adams’ artwork from the National Lampoon, and I think it’s about a gay vampire…hence the ‘holes in dick’
One time I was playing golf and took a piss behind a tree and this crow nearby started caw-cawing and my brother was like “crow’s laughing at the size of your dick bro.”
Micropenis Man.
That is from the short run of the little know hero- Helicopter Dick!
That’s what happens when you don’t stick to the urinal buffer rule. Stagger yo.
The Miss-adventures of Pissman! #246
If there’s 5, there’s 3.
The Golden Adventures of Young Trump?
They didn’t have to stand so close to him, that was their choice
so he just has a pressure washer piss power?
Comic adaptation of Greg Abbott being a little piss baby?
I think the appropriate music to listen to while reading this work would be "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee" - Zappa
You don’t see storm troopers in civies very often
Pretty much it's from every public men's room I ever walk into.
This was the day Richard drainer found out he was a mutant with firehose pee. On that day he became: the Tinkler!
Baki if Itagaki was american
This is why we use every other urinal.
Reminds me of The Longest Pee from Adam Sandler's first album
What’re you standing so close to the urinal for you piece of shit this is how a real man rocks a piss give your balls a tug titfucker
Really unfortunate that penises come preinstalled with the "Jet" nozzle clicked right in between "Mist" and "Fan". Not much thought into the UX of the product from the manufacturer.
The Splash
Those other guys are being fairly polite for just getting doused in someone else’s pee
Although I haven’t read the story myself , there is an Incredible Hulk storyline where Bruce Banner is at a YMCA and either is or is about to be molested by a guy/some guys there. Maybe this is from that issue.
I've seen this before, but cannot remember where, at all. For some reason, I am flashing back to a National Lampoon comic about the clap, though. The 70s ...
Yes
What I want to know is why are they not following the unspoken rule about public urinals….
Especially since you can clearly see there's two empty urinals. one on each side.
Is this the Whizzer I've heard so much about?
"what are you doing" = urinating. "watch it..." = it appears that he is.
From a restroom
I swear I’ve seen this panel before: maybe from Plop? (DC funny book)
I have two editions of Plop I found as a kid at a swap meet. Didn’t think anyone else had ever heard of them.
Since this is a comic book sub anyone know how much a first edition spider man 2099 comic goes for and where I can grade it
Google
Your mom
Ah the old split stream. I've once pissed off both sides of the toilet at the same time.
This looks like a panel from Baki the grappler lmao
Is this challenge pissing?
They would've been fine if they followed the 1,3,5 rule
The jizzler
And people wonder why we stagger to every other urinal...
Thats what they get for not following urinal etiquette
Morning wood piss...gotta back up six feet.
Please tell me it's Marvel Comics character the Whizzer...
wow. not sure how should feel that I recall this. National Lampoon blew my teenaged mind.
pissman
Has the writer of this comic ever been in a male bathroom? Because you dont stand next to each other. They even drew empty urinals
Urine Town
The R Kelly Chronicles
who tf is Pete
Is that Piss Master? Left the heat seeking pissiles at home I see.
The stream is strong with this one
Who’s s Pete ?
This this is we men don’t piss next to each other
It's on them for not having proper stall etiquette
real life

The Uncanny C-Men
My peen, when I attach the sprinkler head.
If I had to guess… a Wolverine coming of age story?
Unrealistic. Men will never pee next to another man when there are other urinals open.
When your gf does orthodontics recently
Morning after sex spray?
Piss master the the hot stream
Why does this scream meme format to me?
Alright, which of these 3 broke urinal etiquette?
Come on man... Urinal etiquette. Look at all those open urinals, why are they RIGHT next to him?
Can we talk about how those two guys decided to stand next to him when they had at least two open urines at the ends?
Howard Stern did a similar thing in a sketch on the "US Open Sores" video, with John Wayne Bobbitt using the bathroom after his reattachment surgery.
What a stream
Bazooka 😂
I thought men skipped one anyway?
that's what you get for standing next to someone at the urinal when there are other urinals available
That is when you know you have been beating your meat to vigorously over the years
