    In panel four, they are injecting the patient with “anti-dog-powers serum”, which prevents you from developing dog-themed superpowers after being bitten by a radioactive dog.

    About the spiderman lore: did you ever think about, where the spinneret is located in the spider’s body? Hint: It’s not the wrist.

    I didn’t get it until I read the transcript. I thought that the second panel was a jab with barbed wire (tetanus risk) and that the joke was basically “if your body is punctured, be sure to treat it by puncturing your body”.

    I actually think I find that reading more fun than the intended one.

    One of my favorite scenes in Spider-Man No Way home was the three Spider-Mans (the correct pluralization because ‘Spider-Man’ is a title, not an object) talking about how Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man’s web-goo shoots out of him, while Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland are totally grossed out by that while trying to be like, “oh, no man… that’s totally cool we’re just ‘interested’” trying to be supportive in a heartfelt way.

    And how Andrew Garfield was kind of interested in a creepy way, and Tom Holland was more depressed because he has to hustle himself out to a rich techno daddy to afford to keep making his.

    Edit: I was really thinking about this, because Tom Holland’s aunt May was probably in a rent stabilized apartment, I bet they were on SNAP, and I was wondering if his SNAP benefits would pay for his webgoo materials. That kid had serious financial issues.

    (Edit 2: And, no, I’m not hating on people who are on public benefits. A gigantic amount of people in NYC are. I certainly was almost the entire 25 years I lived there. Public benefits IN NYC are amazing! You can hardly afford to live there if you don’t receive them. Rental assistance, food assistance, free healthcare! Public assistance benefits in NYC are AWESOME!)

    but, still… NYC can be a very weird and very rough place… still, there’s nowhere on earth I’d rather live

        Wide open windows

        Seriously, a valid question. And without great airflow, I would probably have choked to death.

        Seriously. Wide open windows.

        Also, I do not smoke inside. I have a nice little patio where I go outside to smoke.

                NYC is one of the greenest cities on earth. Its entire public transit system is electric. traffic in Manhattan is limited and regulated. It’s almost entirely livery traffic now, primarily electric.

                Whales and dolphins are regularly spotted in the Hudson River now.

                The air quality index in New York right now is 32 (midday, it jumps into the 40s at night), which is the same as it is today in Denver.

                London has an AQI of 2

                Moscow? They just stopped measuring it, thanks to the Ukraine drone attacks.

      No it’s like the plural of “Attorney General” is “Attorneys General” so it’s Spiders-Man or Spiders-Men

        No, it’s not, and I’ll tell you why (I was thinking about this last night when I was drunk and posted that comment):

        “Attorneys” can be separated from “Attorneys General” without changing their nature, but “Spider” cannot be separated from “Spider-Man” without fundamentally changing its nature. So, the pluralization of “Spider-Man” must be “Spider-Mans”, as awkward as that must sound. “Attorneys-General” is just a plurality of attorneys appointed to a specific position. It’s all quite abstract, really.

        Attorneys are attorneys whether they are attorneys general, plural, or singular, General or otherwise. Being an attorney, general, or being plural attorneys, none of this changes whether or not they are fundamentally attorneys. The term “attorney“ is the key factor here. If we were discussing the term or title “Attorney-Cat”, we’d be back to the Spider-Man concept, especially if there were more than one of them, “Attorney-Cats”, if you will. “Attorneys-Cat”, I think you’ll agree, just isn’t right, because the fundamental nature of them being cats supersedes the happenstance of them also being attorneys.

        In English, when pluralizing something, the pluralization follows the totality of what is being pluralized, not the term itself. English is a fucked up and messy language, cobbled together from at least 10 or 12 other languages (likely more), so, I don’t make the rules. I just do my best to interpret them.

      It’s not a title, it’s his name. Pete Spiderman.
