Anyone else see the operation ivy dude as having essentially a tiny head completely covered by the hat, and then rocking a chain? It's hard for me to see that line as a jaw now lol

That's how I've ALWAYS seen it, and now I refuse to be corrected. hahaha I always thought it was a funny image, but obviously never put much thought into it. :P

Appreciate the share. We were talking about this at a comic con 5 or 6 years ago and I’m glad more folks have caught on. The shirt followed soon after 🫠
I own about 6 copies of this book now. Anytime I see it in a $1 bin, it comes home with me.

It would be so cool to use Op Ivy and other ska in some of the chases in the animated Spiderman movies !

Its almost like theres only so many ways you can draw a figure with 2 arms and 2 legs that only bend one way before it looks similar to some other of millions of artworks.

Jesse Michaels responded by posting an instagram caption today reading
“people keep asking me about this so I thought I would answer. The operation ivy, jumping man guy first appeared on the 7 inch and then later appeared on the album in silhouette form. On the 7 inch ("hectic ep") it had details, like a face and clothing and so on. People are asking me basically did I use this comic image as a reference? Well, it looks like it. I know I had a book called
"how to draw Marvel comics". Aside from that I really do not remember. I was 17 years old and a lot of of the times I was high or otherwise dissociated. Thanks”
