It is also canon that Superman has heat vision, and can make things really hot just by looking at them.

(I suppose that accounts for all of the sexy characters in Metropolis.)

It took me until the last word of your post to realize you had made a typo.

Spiderman having heat vision didn't feel out of place for me, weirder things have happened to him.

Okay, autocorrect has gone too far. It is one thing to replace thus with this, but to replace a DC character with a Marvel character?

Where's Sheldon? I cannot emote the proper degree of outrage this situation deserves.

Indeed, but have you ever held a lighter up to a cobweb? (^_~)

I call it autocorrupt for a reason. More people should follow suit.

I just call it autoincorrect.

Yeah but that increases the syllables. It doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

Whatever you call it, I trust that we can all agree that the person who invented it should burn in hello.

Actually, as a dyslexic, it probably corrects me more often than it incorrects me, but a red squigle under the word is even better, as then I can correct it to what was actually wanted, or leave it as is for words that my autocorrect does not think are words.

[Breccia]

a red squigle under the word is even better

And, as we all know, the red squiggle is Spiderman using his heat vision. If Superman was doing it, it's be a straight red line.

And ground their bones to make hello as well.

Had a dream last night that Rich updated the comic and it was just the rest of the story on one extremely long page. Woke up to find a new comic had been posted.

I have been doing so for that last couple of years. Concur for why.

(Why didn't Minrah get stuck?)

You can seen in panel 7 that she immediately stood up, while Durkon stayed seated. Perhaps at that point, the mimics hadn't yet started to secrete glue -- that happened during the next two panels, at which point Durkon discovered that he was stuck.

Or there might be some factor which causes Durkon to seem more threatening than Minrah, or more tasty, etc. I've heard of dogs that are fine with women but react aggressively to men, or to men specifically who have facial hair, because of previous abuse.
