Spider-man's webbing, circa 1967

Was just watching some of the old Spider-man animated series (You know, the one with the theme to which everyone knows the words), and came across some of the weirdest visuals I've ever seen. They involve Spider-man's... innovative use of his artificial webbing. At various points throughout the series, Spidey has created clubs, cork screws and other useful tools... all out of webbing! The best, though, is the fully functional motor boat. I'm not making this up. The boat, rotor and motor were all made from his webbing. Clever boy, our Spidey. I bet those fools at the glue company to whom Spidey once tried to sell his webbing in an early issue of Amazing Spider-man are feeling very stupid for turning down his offer.
