I sometimes wonder if the mountains of poo poo that get heaped on Flash isn't writers symbolically getting back at their own high school bullies. I hope not.

Most people in Parker's life get mountains of poo poo heaped on them. He's dating Betty Brant, who's had both her brother and husband murdered, the latter of which was brainwashed and alleged to be a psychopathic supervillain.

The science fair picture is great. A gag wrapped up in a reference to his webbing. Also never noticed this before, but in the graduation picture with Aunt May, is that Warren in the background staring at Peter?

I wonder if that creepy looking Moe Szyslak/Alfalfa dude behind Aunt May on the beach is MJ's uncle. Good god. We know what her dad looks like, and man, he must have taken all the good genes.

Out of context Peter sounds like the biggest rear end in a top hat but he really is reacting to how MJ had portrayed herself up to that point. For her to be like "No, I have real feelings and I'm going to help you through this" was a true defining moment.

And it's not like the door is open the entire time. She hears what he says, is very hurt by it, opens the door because she is about to leave, but then pauses and decides to stay.

We shouldn't have anyone dying of hunger anyway, with or without Superman. We could feed the whole world if we wanted to.

That comic is old enough that they would have said it was an asbestos wig. Asbestos back then was used like yellow against Green Lantern. Like asbestos webbing! Spray it into people's faces Spidey, yeah!

I think at the time Wally West was literally rich but I may be misremembering.

Easy to be rich if you're allowed to empty entire stores of their merchandise without paying.

On the topic of cancer, gonna post a good comic on the subject where everything is handled well.

Don't know the issue. (Posted on Imgur back in 2014, which is why I'm posting it in full)

Just deals with a whole range of issues really well and it's the kind of Mister Fantastic that I like to see.
(That or The Maker)


The first set of panels I assume is from the Marvel Knights Fantastic Four series by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Steve McNiven. Don't know the rest.

To make it really sting I think WW would have to find the girl hanged and the Lasso of Truth is the noose.
