That towel obviously just fell off the bar. It's a thing that happens sometimes. Chill.

Also, it almost definitely still smells like poo in there, right? And TJ could need to bust in any second to contribute more to the aroma? I can see why she's getting so hot and bothered.

Well, Borgman used to be a political cartoonist so he's got plenty of practice drawing elephants and donkeys. The giraffes in the first strip ain't bad either.

Interested to see where the Magneto story is going because what Spidey is asking is the mutant equivalent of a black father asking a doctor to make his kid white so he can be "normal."

Mutants are an extremely versatile metaphor, and the race reading is the one that is usually most applicable when Magneto shows up.

The whole "mutant" metaphor was created in X-Men in the '60s as a direct response to the Civil Rights Movement. I'm not sure why that's so controversial.

Not that I'm expecting any level of nuance because it's freakin' Newspaper SM, c'mon...

Magneto's entire character background is designed for him to be a race metaphor. The MLK/Malcom X contrast was meant to be read.

Autism or brick magnetism are more applicable when it comes to Spidey, though.
