The intellectual equivalent of a ham sandwich.

When? 2472. What? A Conversation.

I don’t think I found it but … It’s too weird to just dismiss.

What is it?

It’s something called ‘Spider Man.’

Some creature that was half man, half spider? Sure, sure! That could’ve caused the downfall of civilization!

No, uh … I think it’s just a bunch of movies.

Oh. A horror movie about a half spider, half man? Whatever. They made a lot of terrible movies in their heyday.

No, listen. Listen. There were a BUNCH.

Again. That’s nothing. They made movies that seemed really –

LISTEN! 2002, Spider-Man. 2004, Spider-Man 2, 2007 Spider-Man 3!

Well –

LISTEN! 2012, The Amazing Spider-Man, 2014 The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Now that is –

Wait. There’s more. Apparently he was then in a Civil War, and then in 2017, Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Seven movies in 15 years? That actor must have gotten so –

Three actors.

Seven movies. 15 years. Three actors? None of that makes sense!

EXACTLY!

I doubt it caused the Earth to blow up, but … I mean, that is weird. Maybe that’s what signaled when intelligence just kinda stopped.

I still think it was 2020, so many bad jokes led to the collective consciousness resigning.

Yeah, could be.

Picture from here, post aside, I’m looking forward to the next spidey flick.

The text of the postcard is

Dear Ellen,

I’m debating writing a book where the narrator is ornery and impatient, perhaps even a trifle racist. Here’s a taste:

“Gene! Quit acting like such a basket case!!,” she said this, crossing the room, arms gesticulating wildly.

Gene, unmoved, replied with silence.

He failed to reply because Gene is literally a cage for baskets. Seems obvious to me, you twit.

<And Scene.>

What do you think??

Why am I doing this?

P.S. Like the drawing on the postcard? Pass on your compliments to @NotNotTSHendrik.
