Maybe it was just him, but Peter felt like they had been through his argument before. Eddie ended up falling back on the same tired argument, which meant that Peter wasn't all that inclined to fight back. It didn't help that the blond described it in such a tasteless way. He did what he had to support himself -- in the grand scheme of things, was it really that bad?

Then again, with someone else trying to compete, they obviously wouldn't stand a chance. Still, Eddie could have always tried to get a better job somewhere else, rather than becoming fixated on the whole Spider-man thing.

It was kind of creepy, actually.

"My pictures look fine," he responded, though he wasn't quite as into the debate as Eddie was. "Better than fine, really. Maybe if you started selling pictures of yourself when the symbiote's out you'd have some better luck. It'd work easier than doctoring a picture, at least." It was a low blow, but it wasn't like Eddie hadn't taken his share of cheap shots.
