DC Animation hits another home run

Alright, am I crazy or is this the best DC Showcase short they've made so far? Thanks to the Steve Ditko connection this is actually a really funny, self-aware send-up of 60s Spider-Man, among other low-budget superhero programs of the time. How often do I honestly get to say "man, I'm really enjoying these deliberate animation errors."

It's even funnier if you picture all the Charlton Comics characters as their Watchmen counterparts.
