Welp, let's take it this way (discounting he specifically said Med School). A bachelor's runs 4 years for the undergrad. Then Med School itself is, like, another 4 some years of education and exam passing to graduation. That's about 8 years. Residency can be longer depending on the speciality. Psychiatry I think was 3 years but surgical ones can run 6+ depending on what it is. The Doctor was a surgeon at one point. That's 14 years right there.

Considering the low number of spots for surgical matters, you really have to kick rear end. Your exam results tend to dictate what you can be limited to in terms of practice.

Yes. People controlled by Betty have those purple loops over their heads. Everyone else is being controlled by someone who manifests as a blue angel in their heads. It's there to show who is being controlled by who.

Some classic Spider-Man Hostess ads. Source: Any Marvel comic of the late 70s.


The second panel and the second-to-last panel feature some of Mary Jane's best lines ever. You can tell how much fun, cynical or otherwise, the writers had with doing these things.


This one isn't as funny, but for the sake of Spider-Fandom it's interesting to see the first and last appearance of the original Madam[e] Web.



And quite possibly the worst villain ever created:



Also, it just now occurs to me: Did Hostess ever have a problem with how it was always the villains who loved their products?

Okay, this makes it the third Marvel villain to have the surname Marko, after Cain and Flint (no relation). Did Stan Lee have a bully named that growing up or what?

We were instructed that the heroes could never eat the cupcakes, Twinkies or fruit pies, because that could be interpreted as an endorsement of the product. So, we were always pressed to come up with some interesting way to stop a crime or a riot or something else using a dessert.

No, we... wouldn't want that now would we...
