Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 09, 2012

if the spider climbed up Joan’s back, how could she not have felt that?!

Epic scream in 3…2…1….

EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!

Next panel – lift off!

LOL!!!Does anyone remember that scientific study that was announced online a couple years ago, that you’re never more than six feet from a spider? Obviously not all big spiders. Really tiny ones, too. When I was telling my lil bro about that, my mom was listening at the kitchen table. And at that same moment, his dog, Eddie, who was under the table, put his wet nose against her bare knee. lol! She jumped in her seat and shrieked. lol! Totally random moment of comedy. :D

Next time, flush the thing. They may be good at running, but NOT so much at swimming!

Gaaah!! I would feel that thing in my hair (and I have a lot of hair). Sometimes my oldest plays with a little piece of my hair and I tell her to stop because it feels like a bug is in there. Ugh, I have the creepy crawlies now… :-(

Alix, wants it for her ‘bug collection’.

@very_giggles4I know … and I wish my cats would understand that and stop killing them when they get within reach.

Is it’s name “Boris”???

I thought of this strip yesterday when my husband told me to hurry up and open the door because he’d caught a spider. He was holding it in his hand. Then he dropped it on the carpet.I was yelling at him to hold up before doing anything, because I was planning to put a jar or glass over it and slide some stiff paper under it and put it outside. But he grabbed a Kleenex and squashed it. :-( He said it might be a brown recluse spider. Sigh. (I know a lot of you would do what he did.)

Notice the little wave the spider is doing? Great, Jan!

Because there’s a spider on the back of your head!!!

That last panel gave me the biggest laugh of the day so far. Thanks… I needed that! :D

Major dish breakage in 3… 2…

Uh oh!

I would so shoot that thing. Not if it were on her head of course, but I’m not getting close to it if I can help it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, there are other dangerous spiders,…especially in Australia. Very nasty ones there!

Absolutely love the Who reference! One of my favorites, along with Squeezebox! We once had a German Shepherd that caught a Daddy Longlegs. Only way we could tell was the legs sticking out of her mouth!
