Please Don’t Sue
Cape never got off his Man With Spider-like Attributes kick. These two weeks were sort of a “why not?” idea, and I figured if they were going to “crossover” with any hero, it might as be the one hero in comicdom who has teamed-up with the most heroes (including all the DC ones, too). I wanted to stretch this out as much as I could, so I threw in a Scarlet Man With Spider-Like Attributes and a Scrooge McDuck reference.
One of my favorite absurd characters is the original Spider-Pig. And of course, the expanding waistline joke.
As an English Major, I see how stupid they tend to be, and having listened to Garrison Keillor on more than one occasion, I know other people see that, too. I immortalized my high school mode of transport and began my satire of one company’s recent editorial decisions.
I parodied a big crossover event and of course, after two weeks of anticipation give the guy at least a panel.

[…] This is why I helped some students at my former high school write a sketch parodying these medical dramas, showing how they are all similar and pointing out their hilarious flaws. Five of those jokes needed to make their way into Cape & Cowl - I felt like I needed to apologize to female readers after two weeks of Spider-man strips! […]
