It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I mean, let's face it, there were arachnids before there was Peter parker - it was Peter Parker that got bit, right? A radioactive spider? I do remember that much, from what Nic told me (yes, my husband is indeed a comics guy).

Oh, yeah, there were spiders (ick) but I doubt they were that big a part of the public awareness till Peter got bit.

Goddamnit, I knew all about the nasty little things, courtesy of getting bit as a kid (black widow, visit to Kentucky) and having the anti-venom and my stupid leg turned green and all that gruesome stuff, and I never heard of Peter Parker except only vaguely until I asked Nic about it. Waaaah! I am NOT a freak!
Surely there were people out there - I can't be the only one who thinks "Charlotte's Web" and not "Spider-man".

Well, sure, "Charlotte's Web," but no so much with the "the senses of the spider are so amazing" thing. See, in America he was even on TV. Plus, in the Buffy world, the phrase "spider-sense" or "spidey-sense" is synonimous with pop culture. Granted, Amanda may be thinking of other things, but your audience is going to go "Huh, comic geek, cool."

At least 4 times that I can remember -- campy cheesey cartoon in the 1970s, live-action (also in the 1970s?), on Electric Company, and the new cartoon in the 1990s.

Thanks for all the fish.
You think 'Charlotte's Web' you think spelling and pork. Spider-man is catching thieves just like flies.
