The New Rosetta Stone — parody or a serious challenge to Dave Sim for the misogyny crown? I honestly can’t tell.
My theory is simple and is, essentially, an analogy. By projecting the characteristics of “woman” onto a character which is more straightforward and more readily understood by the general population, I wish to make the behavior of “woman” comprehensible.

- Spider Man weaves webs.
- Spider Man has a sixth sense.
- Spider Man shoots strings.
- Spider Man can climb walls.
