Why was that Thing story in FF #274 anyway?  It would have ok if the Thing had
somehow communicated or interacted with the rest of the FF, but no, it was
simply part of the story going on in The Thing.

IF I WAS INTERESTED IN THAT STORY I WOULD HAVE BEEN BUYING THE THING!!

This was no "crossover", no "team-up", it was a cheap attempt to get
more people to buy The Thing.  Which stinks.  Though it was nice
to see old Ben with some whiskers.
