via Tama Leaver‘s post on a fanboy collectible of Mary Jane from the Spiderman comics (which I have seen around the feminist gamer/comics sites this week already) I find that Nancy Lorenz at GirlWonder.org has done a parody to show just how silly the same pose would look if Spiderman was doing the washing for MJ.
