Just a little bit of sunshine!

I would believe that Stan Lee said to Larry "Do an arc with Rocket Raccoon" or "Have Mole Man try to marry Aunt May again" but that's about as far as I'd believe that Stan has any input in this strip. Stan Lee is not writing a comic strip at 94 years old. That I do not buy at all.

It would explain a lot, though.

I'm willing to bet that--at the very most--Stan gives a passing thumbs up to the aide who brings a copy of tomorrow's strip through his periphery while he walks towards lunch. He has been giving the thumbs up to the aide for over three decades and no longer knows why or cares, it's just something he does every day without deviation.

Even if it's Larry, though, he's not *that* much younger than stan.

Oh no, you can't keep two newspaper reporters and a major blogger waiting!

MJ might need to get a different P.R. man, ideally one who hasn't just arrived from 2005.

The decor in MJ's hotel is... well I'm pretty sure the front desk is several doors joined perpendicular to make a rectangle, and you jiggle the doorknob instead of the bell, and I can't decide between a waffle joke or a flypaper joke for the monstrosity behind the desk.

And Mr. PR Superstar there has his arm and face like "MJ look at this crazy poo poo!"

You know, lots of villains magically spy on their enemies but how many do so while kicking back with a glass of wine. Tyrannus has class.

Actually, I think most of the ones who might have that kind of resources would. Loki, Doom...the only exception would be Dracula and that's because he doesn't drink...wine. :drac:

Didn't all three of them fall in love with Storm at one point?

Oh god. Is Aunt May the Storm of the Newspaperverse?

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Give me any way the blocking and that wall the agent is leaning out from behind in the second panel make sense unless they're both in the bathoom, I defy you.

Peter better fight the moloids outside the restaurant but successfully prevent them from ruining Aunt May's date, and then she and Moley marry and live happily ever after as Mr. and Mrs Kurtzman :shobon:

Newspaper Spider-Man isn't in the 616 and was also never affected by Secret Wars and its resultant universe merger. Obviously Melvin is less villainous than Harvey, so it only makes sense to give them different names to keep them distinct. I'm sure it's been done with other characters in parallell universe scenarios before.

It's not a spider, it only has six legs.

I fully expect it to have like twelve legs by next Sunday.
