Spider-Man sure is lucky that everyone else in his universe is as rock stupid as he is.

"Mary Jane Parker seems like she knows Spider-Man personally, and he's always rescuing her as if he has a personal interest in her? Hmmm...she must be cheating on her husband with him!"

Phantom's costume was originally just gray?

Yep. It changed when the comics started getting printed in colour because the grey one looked terrible, but there was no consensus on what colour it should be, so purple was just one variation, and the text continued to refer to it as grey for some time. In some countries his costume is still red or blue.

Militant sports team affiliations are the worst. I'm an Ohio resident, and I really can't give two fucks about OSU. I mean, good luck guys, but I won't be committing suicide if you lose. I know people that absolutely refuse to even ride as a passenger in a Chevrolet because of NASCAR. Why?

The teams weren't changed in the translation, so it's even weirder in norway, where people are super fans of english soccer teams for really arbitrary reasons.

Some stores seem to think having a trash can visible is a bad idea for some reason. Granted in a mall I'll wait until I leave the store and find a trash can there, but in a big department store they hide them, usually behind the counter in the assorted departments where there may or may not be employees who may or may not be busy helping customers, or in out-of-the-way corners where they also hide the restrooms.

You totes can leave a thumb print (if it's smudged then how can you tell it's the thumb, anyway?) on a cartridge while loading a clip, just like you can load a revolver without pushing the cartridge in without leaving a (thumb) print! This reminds me of Mad's Columbo parody ending.

I love that the Inspector Danger 'proofs' usually work equally well if you reversed it. "The second suspect is the killer. He put a blurry thumbprint on the cartridge left at the murder scene to make it look like it came from a revolver, but revolver bullets aren't ejected. It must have come from an automatic."

Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz

okay, this one is just plain wrong. wrong wrong wrong. i knew what he was going for from the start, but in order to get the round into the magazine (of an automatic), it's necessary to press it in at a sort of down and forward angle from behind the magazine, so that you end up pushing the round in with your thumb from behind. It would be much easier to load a revolver without touching the back of the round with your thumb, as the rounds just drop in. in fact, i'm pretty sure that when loading a revolver my thumb only contacts the back rim, and not the back surface of the round.
And, while i'm at it, has anyone ever noticed that inspector danger looks like a drunk/stoned mr. wilson?

Inspector Danger reuses art and setups so much that I'm positive we'll get one where that is the solution within the year.
