Sadly, Spider-Man is properly spelled with a hyphen.

Those names should have commas between them, too. You'll have to take it up with stupid old Cap'n Fancy.

Mmmm - and your oh so smug rationale for this post somehow NOT drawing attention to him would be....?

Christ, you're a moron.

Paul,

This would have worked a whole lot better if you'd started the not paying attention BEFORE writing a post giving him more attention.

Reminds me of Peter's boat on Family Guy -The S.S. More Powerful Than Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and the Incredible Hulk Put Together.

@ 6, 7. You're real bright ones, aren't you? Did you feel bad about how depressed Stephen Colbert was last night, too?

@12 - Stephen Colbert is a comedian, and a very funny one at that.

Paul Constant is a blog poster here, and a very shitty one at that.

I fail to see the connection. But thanks for trying.

@16: Oh yeah: "Companion of the Queen's Service", "Privy Counsellor", and "Aide de Camp of the Queen" always brought on the giggles.

@14. Are you twelve? Let me spell it out for you. I will yell, since that is how you need to be told.

PAUL CONSTANT IS OBVIOUSLY WELL AWARE OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HIS DRAWING "THE STUPID KID" TO OUR ATTENTION AND HIS CALL TO NOT DRAW ATTENTION "TO THE STUPID KID."

He and Colbert both sometimes say things in parody, as comedy, or in jest. Your comments pointing this out to him are simply to make yourself feel smart by pointing out a "brilliant" piece of insight you thought he missed. The fact that you missed that he was well aware of your "insight" serves the opposite.

I think it's cute. I would consider sleeping with a Captain Fantastic for the lulz, even. But would his name on legal forms and such be Captain Combined? LETDOWN.

Coming from a newspaper that named itself after the English translation of a French book on existentialism and absurdism.

Besides Albert Camus would probably like the kid's name... although I'm not sure the same could be said for this blog.

@19 - Speaking of "missing" things - that little foot-stomp was just about priceless.

Like shootin' fish in a barrel around here sometimes.
