Right now Israel's bombing Rafah, the last refuge for a million Palestinians, where they were previously ORDERED to evacuate to and are now trapped in while the US news cycle is dominated by Big Football Game And Celebrities In Attendance (at which Israel also aired a million dollar propaganda video). I wish I could say this is unbelievable.

A while ago, I found this pic, and then came across this on TV tropes:
Leslie Nielsen, who played Sgt. Buck Frobisher, was the son of a Mountie in real life. During his first appearance on the show, he took Paul Gross aside and told him that he was lacing his boots incorrectly and then proceeded to teach him the proper way for a Mountie to tie his shoes.
I find the whole quote extremely endearing (and also vividly Canadian).

Comic!Hobie has switched from his iconic converse to blue-laced combat boots!
[Bottom two images from Spider-Punk: Arms Race - released 28/2/24]
Originally, all throughout his comic book run, Hobie has worn different pairs of converse.
However this was changed for the movie to better reflect 1970's British culture, which I spoke about here.
Hence, Hobies line to Gwen 'Are those my Chucks?'. A nod to the footwear he typically wears in the comics.
However now, with Spider-Punk's newest run hitting shelves, it seems Comic!Hobie has switched to boots and blue laces as well!
And, just in line with punk aesthetics - they're ladder laced in line with the old Laces Code.
With Hobie killing Commander-in-Chief President Osborn, these make complete sense for him.
How cool!!!! I really hope this means they're taking feedback from fans 😁

sue me for this but xie lian is such an unreliable narrator. Not because his perspective is messy like wwx, or that his memory is a little bad, oh nooo. But because this guy lies to everyone so hard he lies in his own narrative. Book one he's like "yeah I know a whole bunch about fangxin randomly, I used to collect scraps in banyue haha" and book two he literally goes "oh yes lang qianqiu I stabbed your father in the fucking heart out of pure vengeance, actually I stabbed your entire family in the heart. Every last damn throat? Cut by me. You think you can fight me and win? Boy, I was one member away from bringing down your whole ass dynasty in a single night and that member is you, do you honestly think you're any match for me?"
...why. why so unhinged.
