The Comics Curmudgeon on Spider-Man

I haven't linked to the Comics Curmudgeon in quite a while, so I'll remedy that by pointing you to his fine, fine dressing down of Spider-Man:

In the first two strips above, he’s busy dwelling on all this when, in one of the most blatant instances of strip-padding I’ve seen in all my years of comics-reading, a conflict is introduced (via a Truman-era intercom system) only to be resolved, with no action on the part of any of the on-stage characters, the next day. I can’t even begin to describe how deeply unsatisfying this is from a narrative and dramatic perspective. Imagine if Shakespeare had used this technique...

The example is a treat, as are so many other moments in this particular entry. It helps that Spidey is truly the dimmest of bulbs as presented here.
