Peter Parker: Spider-Man (volume 2) issue 21.
Peter has always been a funny guy. He creates banter in tense situations and his battle humor has been a long staple of the Spidey books. In this Paul Jenkins issue, he took the next logical step and tried his hand at stand up comedy.
He bombed.
This moment is funny, more entertaining than so many oneliners he shoots by certain writers
PJ is one of the funniest Spidey writers
Mark- if I’m correct, the joke is that he’s a mime and his prison is him PRETENDING to be in jail; like how a mime pretends to be in a box or pretends to tug on a rope or something. I don’t know how else to explain it. (I actually thought the joke was funny)

I agree with Slash, I LOVED Paul Jenkins run, he was the first guy writing Spider-man that actually made me realize I liked a specific writers work. Before his stuff I just liked Spider-man in general and never gave attention to who wrote it.
That was great. Paul Jenkins run on Peter Parker Spider-man was fantastic, with many great character moments 🙂
I liked his run more tha JMS’s on Amazing.
I know its tough to explain a joke, and this is a bombed joke, but someone please explain it to me?
Be nice..
Wow, kind of like when Steve Wacker tries to be witty on the CBR boards.
