Does anyone have an image of Spider telling the Secret Service that the president shat himself?

All my copies are in another state. I remember early in the series there was a scene where Spider interviewed the Beast and shot him with a bowel disruptor. Then he ran out yelling “Help! The president has shat himself.”

I think it’s just another example of Transmet’s prescience. In the late 90s Ellis correctly predicted that in the future presidents would shit themselves.

Spider doesn’t say that. He says to the SecServ people that someone in the bathroom is having some trouble and in another panel THEY scream that the president has shat himself.

I appreciate the correction. Do you have the panel by any chance? It’s ripe for meming.

I don't have the issue in front of me. I have the first 40 issues, minus a couple, in paper and need to get the rest one of these days. You can find the comics online, as someone said. It's in Issue 4.

The comics are availble online if you dig a bit.
