Well, I think it would go something like this:

Hey Ditko! Stan's found another way to trick you out of the co-creator royalties!
Can you name all the characters Spidey is impersonating? (Sure you can!)

I'm gonna go with (top) Dick Tracy, Mickey Mouse, Superman, (bottom) ?, Archie, Charlie Brown.
I recognize the other dude's shoes but can't place him. Help!
The guy with the shoes and the snazzy haircut in the lower left is Li'l Abner. And I think it's not Archie but Reggie. Why is Spider-Man Reggie? Even Spider-Mickey looks weirdly angry.
Is the mystery character Li'l Abner?
I remember this spread unsettled me when I was six years old. At the time, I only recognized a couple of the other characters being referenced, so the rest just looked inexplicably odd.
I hate to say it, but Spidey-Brown looks an awful lot like those peeing "Calvin" ripoffs. Curse you, redneck culture...!
Super-muscley Super-Spider-Man is creepy as hell. I like Lil' Abner-Man, tho.
I would happily read Spider-Abner, if only to see Mary Jane drawn Daisy Mae style.
Spider-Mouse is just freaky.
