Mary Jane you shouldn't sleep right next to someone with the flu. And I hope the vulture want even a part of that storyline and Peter is randomly worried.

This is the face of a man who has to spend a night in bed with his supermodel wife.

I tried to see if that panel would look any less grotesque without flesh-colored teeth. Not really... It almost looks like it's a mostly normal Peter face, but a section of it got eaten by the fax machine or there was a speech bubble over it that got removed or something like that, and the colorist had to scramble and draw a chunk of face and part of a mouth, and he was like "Yeah, good enough!"

I think he's supposed to be biting his lower lip nervously (since he's not talking) but somehow it turned out more like he's attempting to eat the lower half of his face

Did Mole Man ever take off his glasses in the old story? Because the idea of May seeing his soul through those dark shades is the funniest poo poo.

Can Mole Man not just pick up and move his operation to like Mammoth Cave or some other dank shithole? There's not exactly a shortage of underground.

Back in 2007, Gary Trudeau said his lead time for dailies was 10 days, which was narrow (but quite wide compared to what editorial cartoons get), but six weeks for Sundays, which is probably more likely.

What I like about Newspaper Spider-Man is that Stan Lee is competently inept in writing this comic strip. The storylines are not good and would not work in any other medium, but the sheer audacity of what goes on this strip is its appeal. In the general comic strip thread, Spider-Man defeated a werewolf in a planetarium by faking the sun rise. The last storyline had almost an entire week of a naked Rocket's adventures of rummaging through trash. These things would not get by any other editor, but not only do they appear in this strip, but they WORK and make it better. They say it takes a really smart person to play a convincing idiot on TV. I think Stan Lee is a genius for making a comic strip this bad this good.

Putting quality aside, Stan's style is very distinctive and the newspaper strips for the past decade+ don't bear much of his hallmarks.

I still maintain this is legitimately cool and, to the best of my knowledge, original. Planetariums seem like an under-utilized setting for action setpieces in general now, come to think of it.

at some point stan's brother larry was the writer, but by now it is probably some random dude. stan himself obviously has nothing to do with it.
