Here We Go-A-Plotting!

So, considering the passing of one of the greatest comics legends today, I thought we could do with some levity.

One of early Marvel's greatest and most enduring charms was that the creators themselves were more than just guys who would occasionally break the fourth wall to explain a plot point (miss you too, Mr. Kane), they were wild characters that were as entertaining to read about as the superheroes they wrote about. Here we have a three page story where Stan, John Buscema, and Larry Lieber try to create a story for Spider-Man.

It's not the fact that Dr. Doom is a housekeeper which makes me laugh, but the thought of him sitting through a job interview and struggling not to refer to himself in the third person.
And let's face it, "Spider-Man: Aunt May has Heart-Burn" would have probably made a better movie than some of the stuff they've put out over the years!

I find humour in the idea that Doctor Doom's disguise (at least how they imagine that) is just an apron and a feather duster. Nothing else, he doesn't even take off his cloak or armour, yet he's supposed to fool Spider-Man/the Avengers.
