I love the moment in the Spiderman title sequence when he's swinging by and waves at the camera. It's a funny moment, but it also seems very in keeping with the comic book's humor.
Dave-- totally agree about the humor, and that's one of the charms for me of the otherwise often-crude marvel animation of the sixties: that despite the technical limitations, they were stlll able to catch the spirit of the characters. I miss that spirit in contemporary spider-man, too, which feels like it's really gone off the rails (that's why the "real" spider-man stories are being published in Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane these days, methinks.
