But where does the Spectacular-Spider Rebate fit into all this? Does this have anything to do with the classic teamup of Obama and Spider-Man? Will we be seeing a new super-team, comprising of Redneck Santa-Man, President-Man, and Spider-Man? Or are they just going to go fishing?

How good would it be for ice fishing?

Why do I think Trucker Santa was trying to pay money to spin on Spidey’s “rod”, and the Webhead managed to pull one over on the creep?

I think Spidey’s body language says it all: “Wait, Trucker Santa gets fistfuls of cash for Christmas and all I get is a $%*#ing fishing pole? THIS IS THE WORST CHRISTMAS EVER!”

Spidey is in the picture because he’s a web-spinner and that’s a spinning rod.

Plus, Spider-man spends his off-hours casting web-nets to catch fish to feed the poor.

at least back then adverts still had images of naked profiteers gleefully clutching their earnings. honesty in advertising is sorely lacking today

Huh. I thought it was Jerry Garcia.

Actually, when you think about it, flycasting would be a good match for Spider-man.

Garcia is an anagram of “A Crag I”, which is ancient aramaic for Mephisto. You see how far back the seeds of OMD were sewn? DO YOU SEE?!!!

Spider-Man has off-hours?

Seriously, if there’s a superhero who doesn’t have any real downtime, it’s him.

Seriously, the best part is how this is just one huge cut/paste disaster (back when things were literally cut and pasted).

Spider-Man’s kinda’ letting the fishing rod just fall out of his hands, Trucker Santa may actually have some other character’s fist pasted in front of him (and the money probably was pasted in too). The eyes of Trucker Santa are modified, and that Garcia hat… well, I suspect it’s an addition. Then there’s the font frenzy going on.

Still, it’s fun seeing these old timey comic ads from a quarter-century ago.

Oh, c’mon. 25 years isn’t nearly long ago enough to be considered ‘old timey’!

I mean, I remember buying comics with those ads in them!

Two things-
A. What the denomination are the bills that Trucker Santa has in his hand?
B. If John Goodman gets to play Santa in the next Spiderman movie, I’m there.

The ad tells me to “See your dealer for details”. Exactly *which* dealer am I supposed to see, now?

Santa looks like a “Von Dutch”-wearing pimp.
