Perhaps the point is that Quesada is trying to turn Spider-Man into another crappy perpetual-teen Archie style comic?

On that regard, I totally agree with you. It's damn funny. The hambuger head is the gag, not the point of the comic. On that regard, I totally agree with you. It’s damn funny.

Also, Alex...I'll have to agree to disagree with you on this. I don't understand: "The reason why “Brand New Archie” loses impact is that the Archie story itself is having it’s cake and eating it too as it’s not a ‘real’ story'", specifically. Can't seem to wrap my mind around how that would impact the punchline with a hamburger headed jughead. Definitely agree, Mike.

That, indeed, part of growing up is accepting the good and the bad things that happen. You take your licks, and muddle through the events as best you can. The reason why "Brand New Archie" loses impact is that the Archie story itself is having it's cake and eating it too as it's not a 'real' story. Thus, what's the difference in the Spiderman story and they Archie one? By making a story that isn't 'real', Archie totally gets out of having to deal with the consequences of said story. Neither have truly grown up, hmmmmm?
