Seconding the special thanks to everybody who posts classic strips. The vintage comics are so good and form a nice counterbalance to the torrent of contemporary shittyness. I had mercifully forgotten how terrible those Luann/Ann Eiffel arcs were. Thanks for reminding me Julet Esqu :argh:

That is most likely not the most contrived series of events in Newspaper Spider-Man history, but it's probably up towards the top of the list.
