Personally I just enjoy that he immediately shrunk two of his captives, sucked them up with a vacuum, and encased them in plastic, but the third guy who he's had for much longer is just tied to a chair in the corner.

I'm absolutely astonished the artist thought two days ahead to draw the costume satchel, when drawing "metal oval" seems to give them all kinds of problems.

I love this comic so much but I'm sad they didn't go with the obvious "close encounters of the furred kind" gag.

On the other hand, I also suspect they've either used that already or declined to use it just to defy convention.
I'd say that might be too dated of a reference for today's audience, but I don't think anything is too dated for Newspaper "Monthly Tariff" Spider-Man.

Oh my god... Doc Ock's plan was to rob Aunt May not because he needed money, but to make her afraid to live alone. Then he can apply for the inevitable 'tenant wanted' advert...
I think, and it is hard to tell, that it's just supposed to be a random robber who only appears in that one panel who robs May, setting up the empty room for Doc Ock. I thought it was supposed to be Doc Ock robbing the place on first read too, but it doesn't seem like Doc Ock would call a place a "joint", or use a revolver instead of robot arms.

I feel like this is definitely going to happen. Why else would Aunt Anna even be in this story, if she's just going to spend the entire time sitting in her hotel room? My bet is that Tyrannus will go to the hotel room and kidnap Aunt Anna (probably mistaking her for Aunt May) under the earth to be his queen. Then Spidey and the Mole Man have to team up to rescue her, but when they get down there Aunt Anna has already eaten the pomegranate seeds and that's where winter comes from.
Alternatively, the writer has already forgotten she was there and we'll never see or hear mention of her again.
