I'm from Nebraska and the only things off with this comic is that Spiderman managed to find a cab and doesn't have a gun.

Well sometimes there's a single cab at the airport so I think we can narrow this down.

It can't be Omaha, because the airport is in the Iowa part of Omaha. And that area is hilly and forested once you get out of town. Though this could be Sarpy county between Bellevue and Papillon. Which would place this encounter at around 42nd and Cornhusker, and there are better ways to get there rather than driving over the fields so that ain't it.

It's not West O, because that airport explosively serves wealthy people and cabs just aren't there.

The terrain is hilly, but also cultivated with grain, but the fields are light green, just starting to grow. A red sky indicates impending thunderstorm. There are no trees so the farthest east side of my state is out.

So this has to be Lancaster county, the only other major airport that might have a single cab is in Lincoln, and the cab is to go to Omaha. Specifically, this is west of Lincoln, in the early spring. Which means not only does the mugger have a gun, so does the victim. Spider Man is also armed. There are 4 rifles and some deer meat in the trunk of the cab.

What are the odds of Nebraska Spiderman tweaking his costume to use the same shade of red as NU?

GBR Spider-Man

I've seen individual cabs in North Platte and Kearney as well but they were white minivans not yellow crown vics.

So? Why is he out of breath?

Jpeg2000, love it. Still no support in Google chrome.

[-] xorollo@leminal.space 2 points 2 months ago

But also CARdio -- "but he drove a CAR"

[-] AceBonobo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

He's 62 years old

[-] pEg@startrek.website 6 points 2 months ago

It's a taxi and the back door is open in the last panel, he didn't even drive.

[-] Cornflake@pawb.social 28 points 2 months ago

Nebraska Spiderman had to do the Flintstones thing with the Taxi

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 2 months ago

Why are you outta breath?

That cloud of smoke coming from the taxi isn't exhaust fumes. It's weed smoke.

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 5 points 2 months ago

He is a little thick though too. He needs a sidekick that follows him around with a couch and a bong.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago

I need a sidekick like that, too

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

You know. In all the iterations of spiderman in the spiderverse, I'm surprised there hasnt been a ground spiderman who digs burrows and pops out of the ground to attack foes.

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

That's just Moleman with extra steps.

[-] BobbyGasoline@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Can you imagine if Nebraska Spiderman was more like a wolf spider? Just jumping out at MFs.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

Im just imagining spider-man sprawled on all fours rushing people at 60 miles per hour and jumping at them.

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 3 points 2 months ago

Wolf spiders are the best and don't make webs. I would love to see a version of Spider-Man based on this!

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Based on the existing Spider-Man's power compared to that of an actual spider, Wolf-Spider-Man would just be an actual xenomorph.

[-] WanakaTree@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

This is the funniest shit I've seen on here in a long time

[-] HappyStarDiaz@real.lemmy.fan 4 points 2 months ago

So true, I drove through Nebraska once. So sparce, so boring.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

His Spidey Sense™ is so strong he responds before the question is asked (also this is why he made it in time, he was chasing a taxi an hour in advance to be just a bit late)

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

His superpowers come from radioactive mac 'n' cheese.

This is gold, thanks for sharing.
