I say props to Jonah for not driving an SUV. :thumbsup:
He's driving an early 90s Lincoln Town Car which gets roughly the same gas mileage.

But it gets that mileage in comfort and style :smug:

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
From Optimus Prime: The Annual, wannabe screenwriter and auteur Thundercracker has been given an unlimited budget to make a movie about the life and times of former leader of Cybertron Starscream, so recruits lookalike Acid Storm to play the title character, including painting Acid Storm to look like Starscream. Thundercracker decides that Acid Storm's performance isn't up to scratch and will play Starscream himself...

It's an esoteric reference to Street Fighter 2 and the disparate cultural norms present in the United States and Japan circa 1991.

And now you've made me ruin it with an explanation.

As others have said it's an obscure reference to Final Fight (and Street Fighter 2.)
Those games had a bonus round where you had to smash up a car. If you did so the owner came out.
In the Japanese version of the game he says "Oh! My God!"

While in the US version due to censorship, he says "Oh! My car!"

This is clearly hilarious. Less so after explanation, but now you know so you can get some of the joke.

Jonathan the actual wolverine was a housewarming gift from Squirrel Girl, because she assumed Wolverine could talk to wolverines.

In Venture Bros there was a Spiderman-a-like who more realistically shot webs from his "thorax." He had webs firing out of his butt, basically.

he would project psychic webs that made your reality look like whatever you wished, usually putting you in a euphoric (read: helpless) state. And yes, he looked like a lizard disguised as spider-man.

Marcio Takara. Sadly, he only did a few issues on ANW a good while back, which is a shame because he rules but Marvel seemed to only use him as a fill-in artist and he's at DC now.

Been catching up on Ms Marvel and most artists get her well as a teen, but so many get her nose wrong and it bothers me. It feels like they're trying to cute her up.
