Important Questions

Tales to Astonish 48

  • If the Wasp is helpless to save a man – a very tiny man, at that – from drowning, exactly what kind of superheroics is she cut out for?
  • Why doesn’t Ant-Man know how to swim?
  • Why doesn’t Ant-Man just grow back to normal size and step out of the sink?
  • Why doesn’t the Wasp grow back to normal size and pick Ant-Man out of the sink?
  • Why is The Porcupine so dreaded? Because he can pick up a tiny man and throw him into a sink?
  • If the big deal in this issue is that the Wasp and Ant-Man fight the Porcupine, why aren’t they fighting him on the cover? Why are they doing something entirely unrelated (unless, as suggested, the Porcupine threw Ant-Man into the sink), while the the Porcupine stands about in a box that was apparently added to the cover at a later date?
  • Why did Marvel lie to us when they said we’d never forget the Porcupine? Clearly, we have.

Yes, all these questions are rhetorical.
