Lot of obvious comments but tbh you know what i really dig, is the spidey-web tie.

Pete should wear one of those like, all the time.

In my super hero rpg, I had Spider-Man remain a pro wrestler who fought crime on the side, and all the stupid stuff in his life (clone saga, OMD) are actually stupid wrestling character arcs (its a super powered wrestling league).

But this is a close second as a OMD explanation.

I actually hold that explanation for pretty much all super-heroics.

Considering all the crap that happens: all the random fights, the use of the 7 Year rule for many a story...

It makes a lot of sense ;)

I...never honestly thought about it like that before. It makes a scary amount of sense. I feel as though my mind has been opened to a whole new realm of possibilities.

This is perfect.

" Next ish: Spider-Man to go! "

My only question is this: who would be Hobbes?

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

Judging from the title and the last panel, it's Uncle Ben.

Which is kind of sad...

[taggerung301]

oh gosh, you're right

that's a trifle depressing . . .

:'(

[geoffsebesta]

um now I am sad.

This would be a better strip if it simply tried to evoke a C&H atmosphere, like 'Lex and the Joker', instead of directly modeling itself after one of the strips - especially since the strip in question was a really good one, and the 'remake' inevitably suffers in comparison. Comparing Calvin's mom's bug-eyed 'he WHAT?!' with Aunt May's somewhat dismayed look and reaction is just not really a good idea.

Funny.

Suddenly, Spaceman Spiff seems to make a lot more sense when compared to the Spiderman arcs.

If I were MJ, I would've said "all of them".

::Sobs::

[teamrodent]

And now I have many sads noticing the "Uncle Ben = Hobbes" comment. T___T

[hurricane-jam.livejournal.com]

I accidently read that as "Santa's gonna magically erase everyones memories."

...it still made more sense than BND.

I remember the comic this is based on and it's pretty much exactly the same. This is genius.
