Right. Staking something to somebody means you're giving them or loaning them something.

It's a wonder that Peter can afford his monthly tariff if he needs someone to stake him to a cup of coffee.

The hell kind of handshake is that? Did Pete go to kiss his hand and Robbie denied him or something?

Peter forgot he has spider strength and shattered Robbie's hand. Robbie is in shock and doesn't realize it yet.

This reminds me. I am currently watching the Alienist on Netflix. It is a show set in New York in 1896.
At one point a character talks about losing their Billifold. And it just made me smile and think of Newspaper Spider-man.

If you stake a vampire-spider to a cup of coffee rather than the other way around, you increase their powers exponentially. He's blackmailing Robbie to increase his Spider-Strength.

I think.

I'm looking forward to Stan and Larry forgetting that they're writing this strip in 2018 and the villain is the Yellow Claw looking exactly like his did in Jimmy Woo's original series from the 50's.

That wouldn't even make the crime beat in Miami. Guys suffering from severe blood loss being carried into the hospital in the arms of running mysterious men are a dime a dozen there. Doesn't even phase the hospital staff anymore. They've got syringes all ready to go.

There was a Superman/Spider-Man crossover, but it was during that period that the Daily Planet had pivoted to television and Clark was an anchorman.

Peter's gonna try and question Jimmy Woo. Iron Fist will be watching the hospital for any goons that show up, assume Pete is with them and spend multiple strips beating the poo poo out of him.

I can't wait :neckbeard:
