My god, he turned Kangaroo upside down and shook him until the macguffin fell out.

It's a mercy that the Kangaroo and Boomerang (also from Australia) were never a double act.

[mastermahan]

Together they could rule the Down Underworld.

The Kangaroo… who mastered super leaping by living with kangaroos in the outback. A character who probably would have benefited from being declared a mutant.

“I’ll squeeze it tighter with my fingers!”

If only you had some kind of super adhesive at your fingertips, Peter!

And man, Aunt May is really at her most doddering old biddy stage here. Plus the gaslighting. Yeeesh.

He really should have lived with wombats instead.

I feel like there was another story posted here not too long ago that made me say this, but either way...

Holy shit! All these years, I thought Peter was just overreacting and not giving May enough credit, but apparently he was right on the money!

That just makes it crazier to me that when she did finally find out, she didn't die on the spot.

Yeah, I'd be pretty upset too to find my adopted kid's bedsheets covered in wet sticky substance.
