You'd think this dude would understand that television would be a far better medium for him to show off his powers, as Jonah's completely legitimate point re: photos in the newspaper remains valid regardless of the physical threats!

it's not like the dumbest circle we've seen in this strip, not by a longshot, but Rigby could've saved himself a few weeks had he done this the first time he showed up at JJJ's office.

Peter once heard that you can go anywhere if you carry around a clipboard, and his brain muddled that into being afraid of anyone with a clipboard.

We've just finished hat-tipping X2: X-Men United, and Hulk, so we might as well do the same to the other marvel superhero film of 2003.

Given that 04 brings in Spider-Man 2, need to get it done now.

You have to admire Jonah's unbreakable optimism. He does this exact thing every other month, it never works and yet he remains dead certain every time that Spidey wont stand a chance.

"Robbie, if I throw every last goon in town against Spider-man then one of them has to win. That's how odds work"

But yeah, idk how Rigby stands a chance once Peter is healed. He'd like hold Spidey in place, levitate him a bit, then it's webshooters to the face to break his focus at best, webshooters to the arms to drag him into a kick that'd put a hole in a car at worst. If Spidey forgets about webshooters Rigby still doesn't have much going on to, like, hurt an aggro'd Spidey at all.

He could lure Spidey to an open park or somewhere with nothing to webswing off, then levitate and drop him

Or just levitate him off a bridge and rely on him forgetting that he has webshooters

The problem is that the answer to pretty much everything he's likely to try is "web em in the face and now he's helpless".

Which is why Pete is of course never going to think of that.

That would be the smart play, yeah. Thought my assumption is that he's going to engage in some sort of mischief to try and draw him out.
