I legit thought Egghead is way too corny of a villain and that Lee/Larry invented him just for the comic strip. But nope, he is an actual legit Ant-Man villain.

Didn't Peter say in the previous story that he didn't have a Driver's License? I could've sworn Scott had to drive because of that reason.

Payndz posted:I just noticed that the credit box features different artists (plural) for the weekend editions. God drat, those extra six tiny panels are so packed with detail they require a entire second art team! Lee cuts out Lieber completely on the Sunday strips but it is widely speculated that Stan hasn't done anything with the strip since the 80s and the entire creative force is Lieber.

ConfusedUs posted:The Cloud-9 talk in the last few pages made me wonder. Pretty certain the comic strip has been running since the late 70s or early 80s, and there's only been a handful of collections. So a lot of this stuff is probably lost to time.

I know Lieber is Stan Lee's brother or cousin or something like that. Anyone know who these Saviuki and Sinnott people are? Just random from the publisher to color the strip?

Syncopated posted:It's nice at least that Peter and MJ are still married in newspaper-verse. The newspaper strip is actually the entire reason they got married. By the time Stan got the idea to marry Peter and MJ together in the newspaper strip, MJ had already been mostly written out of the books. But then someone got the idea of doing the marriage in the strip, comic, and I think on TV in some special, simultaneously. So MJ was quickly re-introduced into the books and Harry and Liz set them on some incredibly awkward double date to get their romantic plot going.

Wait, why did Spidey purposely stick himself to Ronan? How was this a good plan? How would that get his helmet off? I kind of hope Newspaper Spider-Man takes on the Juggernaut after this.

bobkatt013 posted:He has refused any money for spider-man. They found him using spider-man artwork as cutting boards I remember reading a piece on Ditko a while back that said a tenant next to his art studio got his mail once and she accidentally opened it, and it was a big rear end check from some movie studio. I don't exactly know how much rent is for art studios in NYC but I can't imagine they're cheap. He must be accepting some money from them because I don't believe his fringe work from the 90s is making a lot of bucks.

Apparently in NSM-verse someone's scribbled signature is worthy of being a framed piece of artwork. Also the back of Peter's head is facing a wall in panel 1, but in panel 2 he seems to have a window behind him.
