No, he's insulting MJ because she hasn't caught on that this grabby old man is the bad guy and she shouldn't tell people she's married to Spider-Man.

Yeah, you're misreading it. Just noting that:

1. Every supervillian she meets wants to carry her off and make her his queen (Of course MJ saying yes would be a bad idea. Duh.)

and

2.

Yeah, he seemed like he might be pretty good for a while there, but lately it's just been all bad.

Did you ever wonder where the Romans got bread from? It wasn't from Waitrose!

Hmmm...such a lovely little comic strip, so much fun and it brightens up my fridge dontcha know. Be a shame if the Atlantic Recording Corp, BMI (Jondora/Concord Music), ABKCO, and Sony/ATV decided to go all copyright violation and licensing fee on Guy Gilchrist's arse...

[Seriously, it is a pain in the backside trying to publish an academic article that so much as quotes a prepositional phrase from a pop song without the owners coming after you with enormous fee demands or ordering a cease and desist, which is why most publishers insist that authors paraphrase any lyrics they would like to use -- even attributing the quotes with fully cited footnotes is a no-go without paying the fee. Sadly, you can get away with teeny excerpts like this -- which is why on MST3K, for example, they'll sing a riff just long enough for you to get it, but not long enough to get into trouble. Forgive my grumpiness, I'm jetlagged and this hack gets up my wick.]

The scans are better for now - I only pull about 15-20 comics in advance, so who knows what the future will bring. The nature of google newspapers is hard on a strip with a storyline (many skipped dates, bad scans). If I have to drop it, I have promising replacements: Guess If They Are Married, And He Did., Jaf, Mopsy and old Andy Capps. But I'd like to note that there were as many crap comics in 1931 as there are in 2016.

I wish I could find more of these - Felix (1931, thread champion Milwaukee Journal) Click for big.

wikipedia posted:

Felix the Cat is an animal cartoon character created in the silent film era. The anthropomorphic black cat with his black body, white eyes, and giant grin, coupled with the surrealism of the situations in which his cartoons place him, combine to make Felix one of the most recognized cartoon characters in film history. Felix was the first character from animation to attain a level of popularity sufficient to draw movie audiences.

Felix's origins remain disputed. Australian cartoonist/film entrepreneur Pat Sullivan, owner of the Felix character, claimed during his lifetime to be its creator. American animator Otto Messmer, Sullivan's lead animator, has been credited as such. What is certain is that Felix emerged from Sullivan's studio, and cartoons featuring the character enjoyed success and popularity in the 1920s popular culture. Aside from the animated shorts, Felix starred in a comic strip (drawn by Sullivan, Messmer and later Joe Oriolo) beginning in 1923.
