    And this strip is staler than a 1970s Hostess Fruit Pie. (Hey, if Batiuk can fill up the strip with references to Silver Age comic books, then so can I.)

    “And I’m about as lively as Uncle Ben!”

    Also, just to recap this week’s CS action:Mon.: J*ff discovers some of his old Spider-Man comics are missing.Tues.: J*ff realizes his mother threw some of his old Spider-Man comics out.Wed: J*ff drives to Westview’s Komix Korner to buy reprinted Spider-Man comics.Thurs.: Crazy Harry hands J*ff a hardback Spider-Man omnibus.Today: J*ff purchases the hardback Spider-Man ominbus.

    I suppose tomorrow will show Harry putting said omnibus in a bag for J*ff to take out to his car. Seriously, this “relive my childhood” rehash could have been condensed and done in a single Sunday strip. Batiuk is doing the impossible and making me aactually miss Ed Crankshaft.

    It’s really interesting when you first watch a show as a kid and you’re the same age as one of the kids, then watch it in syndication as an adult and you’re the same age as the parents, later on see it when you’re older and you’re the grandparents’ age!

    Worst than a soap opera, week passes and you don’t miss a thing.

    JMO. I never cared for Funky’s strip, and I started reading Crank 12 years ago. But, if Tom’s iplans were to combine both into one and be more on the side of Funky, I won’t be reding it much longer.

    It’s been over 50 years since I read my first spider-man comic

    If I’m not older than Aunt May, I’m getting there

    The May in some of the movies is younger and more attractive, I have mixed feelings about that

    Doesn’t mean as much as it used to, what with May getting younger all the time (especially in the movies).

    We seem to have hijacked Crankshaft and returned to the dark and depressing end times of Funky Winkerbean.

    I don’t read comic books any more. I can’t afford them, nor do I have a place to keep them. I do still have some old issues of Starlog, though.

    No one’s begging you to read it. Or comment.

    Funny, you don’t look older than Marlisa Tomei. (my personal favorite May Parker.)

    Aunt May went from an old biddy to Sally Field to Marisa Tormei!

    Not sure who is drawing this anymore, Batiuk or Davis. But they need to get back to when it was funny.

    Yes, that’s how aging works.

    When The Simpsons debuted, I was younger than Bart. Now, I’m older than Homer.
