This actually makes me a little Sad because as of last year Annie ended it’s run, on January 2 2011 Brenda Starr( the snooty lady in the commercial above) and not that i care all that much but Cathie ended last year too it’s a sad state for newspaper but the funnies are taking a hit and the funnies are part of the reSon I’m such an avid comic reader as a little kid in el paso I used to read spider-man and garfield in the paper then when my family moved to Germany it stayed with me and since I moved to Tampa the spiffy strip isn’t carried here thats why I’m thankful that brad puts it up here but now it seems newspaper and funny strips along with them may go the way of the dodo i really hope the digital saves the paper and the funny strips I love i got an iPad for Christmas and if papers make themselves and all the features readily available I will buy them everyday the new York times is really limited in it’s uses but i hope a full scale version is being developed. But anyhow I I love this commercial and I will reiterate the message above

IF YOU’RE NOT READING THE SUNDAY COMICS WHY NOT?

This is fantastic. Any idea about its origin?

Yeah, the first half of animated Spidey tended to have a deep voice, and I thought that was kind of cool. Love how Brenda Starr is a B in this thing.

That was great. Never saw that before. I love Spidey’s deep “superhero” voice

Neat ad. It looked like Spidey had Donald Duck-like feet when he climbed the wall.
