I'm convinced the writer is here in the thread. Sure, NSM is always drawn out conversations, but this is just flat out bear-bating us with every strip starting with Melvin being all "Welp, I guess I'll be going now" only for Spidey to say "I think the moloids don't want you to..."

What I want to know is where the Spidoids are and what they have been getting up to without Spidey's supervision.

Sadly that guy's probably not the ruler of an underground realm but just an ordinary dermatologist.

But maybe under his breath when he's giving people needles he says stuff like

"And now at long last I return to Subcutanea!"

Goddamn, I feel like the writer is just toying with us. "Oh, maybe I'll have Moleman marry May. BUT MAYBE I WON'T. :trollface: But maybe I will. BUT MAYBE I WON'T..."

There's nothing special about me.
Like, if it turns out they can do their own thing without him directly lording over the moleoids based on simple orders, can't he just occasionally take a quick trip to subterranea to check on everything before returning to his wife? Sure he can't LIVE underground, but still

that also ignores numerous other options, such as Mole Man going and looking for a suitable replacement for the throne of Subterranea, or just someone he can pay with his vast sums of treasure to manage it while he's away (which could lead to more stories where it turns out that person is, of course, scheming for something for himself)

hell, I'm pretty sure the FF would be happy to help out with this if he called them

there are so many ways they COULD make this work without even bringing up the whole fact that they literally have a fountain of youth right in the lair and they're just going to ignore all of them

A country where you can always get richer.
Why put the Moleoids in their own panel? It's not like it's vital to the story that they keep a distance from Moleman, and it's not like geometry matters because you teleport people to midway through a tunnel, riding a big blue worm, between panels.

Either option is awesome, because it's either "oh, the mole people are so sad!" "eh, gently caress 'em" or "I've decided to abandon May and rule the moloids, even though I just spent a week saying they're all dumb and worthless".

Mole-Man wants the moloids to learn to govern themselves, Spidey wants him to reign over them. I don't think it's Mole-Man who considers them to be less than human.

Reed Richards bursts through the wall and announces he's taking the Moloids under his care in the Future Foundation, adjusts Moleman's bowtie and tells him to marry that pretty lady... then glares over Uncle Moley's shoulder at Spider-Man and mouths,"Get your poo poo together" at him.

When you say Reed mouths those words, I assume you mean he stretches and twists his lips to form the actual written words.
