J. Jonah Jameson is walking along the Manhattan waterfront when he is ambushed by a mugger. Jonah doesn't offer any resistance and willingly gives up his valuables, but asks the mugger to answer some questions. His first question is if the young thief reads the Daily Bugle. This causes the mugger to burst out laughing because he considers the Daily Bugle a joke. This angers Jonah to the point where he ignores the potential danger and knocks out the mugger with a single punch. This is yet another person who has regarded his newspaper as a laughing stock, but refuses to believe it.
