the newspaper origin recaps tend to skip uncle ben, which is very appropriate. it's not like peter remembers, either.

Apparently that's because Aunt May looked fondly at a photo of Ben once and remembered being happy and in love, and Peter flew into a rage and destroyed every photo.

You guys are really going to defend that hag after she has spent years trying to make everyone around her as miserable as she is.

why did she invite jjj. even if he wasn't so much himself, it would still be weird to invite your boss.

Aunt May: After you told me what you and your fiance's desires for your wedding would be, I made sure to ignore that and do what I thought your wedding should be like instead!

I love the art in these. It looks like the linework didn't entirely survive unscathed but it's very dynamic and the faces are nice and cartoony.

The entire strip is a delusion happening in Peter’s brain after he got hit in the head with a brick and slipped into a coma. He’s the main character so of course his boss is at his wedding.

Uncle Ben: Still Dead.
It's 2002. Movie came out this summer, it tore open the box office. It's not a "radioactive" spider, it's a "special" spider, so you can fit "genetically modified" under the umbrella. Everbody knows that the Goblin wears an entirely green battle armor. Gwen Stacy? Who's that? MJ's the one the Green Goblin went after!

Peter, he is a Known criminal. Jonah and Robbie were talking about him being released from prison. If May is somehow not aware of it, there is nothing keeping you from telling her aside from your own desperate need to treat even the simplest poo poo as though it's some impossible, no-win scenario.

I find it funny how little Stan cares for Peter and MJ's friends. Core bugle cast and Aunt May only. Sunday strip fit MJ's uncle that's been all over the last year of strips and I don't think really comes back after, and half the face of Harry Osborn and Flash.

I’ll give this to Pete, it takes confidence to show up at an interview for a position that you literally just got fired from and go “hey, I know you just fired me, but…” Maybe not intelligence, but confidence nonetheless.

No and Yes. Bruce and a crocodile probably get into some poo poo in there, but that arc is also part of the 4 year timeloop, so Connors is destined to invite him in every four years.

this is a flashback story, so i suppose there might have been an earlier the lizard story set outside of florida. alternately, there were only ever two the lizard stories and they were both in florida.
