Who remembers that campy Spider-Man cartoon from the 1960’s? My homeboy RALPH BAKSHI was the art director for that series as well as a bunch of other classic marvel cartoons. No wonder the background scenes and the music was all so trippy. I can remember the lyrics from all of those cartoon series. So can Combat Jack. It’s not like we’re old or anything, we just remember stuff well. Here’s a copy of the lyrics in case you feel like whistling while you work today.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man,
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spider-Man.

Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He’s got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spider-Man.

In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Wealth and fame
He’s ignored
Action is his reward.

To him, life is a great big bang up
Whenever there’s a hang up
You’ll find the Spider-Maaaaaan.

Good times, good times.

I would never, ever tell you guys that live in the NYC to purchase a copy of the New york Post, but today’s paper will have a special commemorative copy of Spider-Man’s debut in ‘Amazing Tales’. It’s not like RUPERT MURDOCH isn’t already filthy rich without my quarter, but after I have removed my Spider-Man comic I will dump the paper in Midtown or some other wealthy area of the city. That way at least I have insured the job of the guy who will have to pick up my litter.
