I always liked the copy-pasta where Jonah points out that of course he knows Peter Parker is Spiderman, but that he'd never tell him because he can't have a bored Spiderman.

I wanna see this, I love that stuff.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


I found this while reading Spectacular Spider-man back issues. I don't even know if it's about the same Spider-man newspaper strip, but I figure it's still relevant to the thread.

I know there's a lot of anachronistic poo poo in the comic, but do police even dress like that anymore?

That is actually the current uniform of New York State Troopers, which makes sense if the mansion is out in the middle of nowhere upstate.



But they should be grey with purple ties (oddly, all the pictures I found have purple ties, I guess that's official). But hey, colorists for daily strips can barely even remember that water is blue so I'll cut them some slack.

If you want a different strip, it looks like you go here, pick your strip, then click the 'buy prints' button. It also looks like they only keep one year's worth of strips archived, so if there's something you would want from November 2015, act quickly!

If you subscribe then you get archives going back way further than that. For Spider-Man it currently goes to October 1998.

I love that there's still been no explanation for why Jameson showed up. Like, he didn't know Egghead had done anything criminal or anything, he just showed up to beat him to death and nobody's noticed.

So doesn't Spidey admitting to having a camera basically blow apart his secret identity?

I love how Newspaper Spidey has this combination of madcap insane storylines and ones that perfectly and logically follow from the choices made by the characters...Even if they are stupid.

This is the only continuity where I've seen JJJ make any logical connection between Spidey and Peter Parker's pictures.

They'll use Elias's shrinking spray to hide the camera then engage in a week long gaslighting campaign against JJJ to convince him there was no camera in the first place.

Peter say he's selling them on behalf of Spider-Man.

JJJ will buy them, but make the check out to Spider-Man, prompting a crisis in which Peter will freak out, because you have to show ID to cash a check!

Little does he know that this was part of JJJ's plan all along. JJJ will camp out at the bank (New York only has one) waiting for Spider-Man to reveal his ID so he can finally unmask that masked menace!
