It is unknown when this strip was first submitted, but as strips have been known to spend years in the buffer, it is possible that the brand of rice once known as "Uncle Ben's" was still known that way at the time the strip was submitted; it was announced to be getting a rebrand as Ben's Original in September 2020, with packaging to that effect having taken on the new identity by mid-2021.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
Like so many of Spider-Man's detractors, Jon only sees the mask and knows nothing of the man or his tragic story behind it. Peel away the layers and you'll find a very sad, broken man inside, Jon, a man not unlike yourself, so don't judge too harshly, Mr. Arbuckle.
(And yeah, maybe I should have used Martin Sheen Ben Parker as this is "Andrew Garfield", but c'mon, Cliff Robertson is who you all think of first when Uncle Ben is mentioned. Or rice.)
Original strip: 2012-04-05.
Transcript[edit | edit source]
Jon: You should try thinking of others
{Spider-Man visualises the image of his late uncle, Ben Parker, may he rest in peace, for it was upon the foundation of his sage advice, "With great power comes great responsibility", that Spider-Man's crime fighting activities have been built. Also he's kind of responsible for his death having not stopped the crook who shot him in a carjacking when given the opportunity to in an even earlier holdup so yeah, lots of emotions running through his spider-skull right now}
Jon: How's it going?
Spider-Man {thinking}: SOB!
