Daily Spider-Man - Today's Edition: Wow, one bullet wasted and that cop got all bitter

I love Sandman's faux outrage. He wants a "quiet day at the beach" yet he goes to a crowded beach and camouflages himself as part of the ground and then becomes angry when he's stepped on. Also, the cops don't seem to be all that shocked that they are speaking to a person who can turn into sand.

Agreed! Sandman's whining makes no sense; he totally started it.

It's strange to me that the Sandman has such a high profile when Wolverine was such a stranger. I guess that's the Spideyverse for ya.

My first title for today's strip was "You can shave the baby!"

Jordan's previous comment was so friggin' funny and it almost slipped by me so I'm reposting it here:

"Octo's right! We can all try our hands at scripting:

Example 1

GIRL: "Sandman, it's just not working out...I think we have to call this relationship quits."

SANDMAN: "Very interesting. But do you realize how difficult it will be to break up...WITH SAND?"

Example 2

IRS REPRESENTATIVE: "Sandman, we've looked over your most recent tax returns and we're afraid that we've found some grave irregularities that would seem to suggest the need for a deeper investigation."

SANDMAN: "Go ahead and try! Do you have any idea what it's like to audit...SAND?

Example 3

CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN: "Sir, we're going to finish bulldozing this area in preparation for the cement foundation of the new highway bypass, and I'm afraid we're going to need you to leave the premises."

SANDMAN: "Oh yeah? Do you have any idea what it's like to remove....SAND?"

CONSTRUCTION FORMAN: "Yes."

[pause]

SANDMAN: "Oh."
