This must be what Chris Martin of Coldplay is singing about when he mentions "Spider-Man's control".

The best part is that Peter could have stayed in his seat and watched the whole interview, then walked out with Mary Jane and accomplished exactly as much.

I bet if that was "Soul Man", things would have turned out much differently.

I think my favourite part is the cop calling Peter Ms Parker. I like to think it's because he's trying to solve the problem nonviolently.

Mole-man or Soul-man.

You know, that's why the story with Clown 9 was effectively a failure, in that the idea was the guy turned to crime because no-one laughed with his antics; the humour in this strip is just too great.

It's not deliberate, to be sure. But it is still great.

Also "Peter and the Mole-Men"'s first hit single was entitled "Mole-Man or Soul-Man?"

I really hope Mole Man's convenient subterranean Priest buddy shows up again too!

I hope they just go out to a nice lunch with Mole Man and then some other villain shows up. Some obscure underground (literally) marvel character. The Alpha Primitives or whatever.

I dunno that it's that they don't want him to go away so much as they know some rando policemen aren't gonna stop the mole man. better to deescalate the situation

of course this is newspaper spider-man so I'm probably giving them too much credit
