TODAY’S COMIC: “Eight-Legged Freak”
Jack is an eight-legged freak! Originally the design for Jack was just 2 arms and 2 legs. When people saw it they all said he needed another pair of arms. I agreed and now Jack has 4 arms and 2 legs. Yet spiders have 8 limbs. There’s now way I’m gonna clutter up my drawings with a ton of limbs, so I figured I’d ‘explain’ things with this strip.
I’ve never seen the movie with the same name. I should check it out soon. My comic is about bugs, after all.

GYPSY: "You know, I thought spiders were supposed to have eight limbs."
JACK: "I do!"
GYPSY: "where are the other two?"
JACK: "It's easier just to show you..."
JACK: "Hey, you wanted to know."
JACK: "I do!"
GYPSY: "where are the other two?"
JACK: "It's easier just to show you..."
JACK: "Hey, you wanted to know."
This is all very cool, John!
Thanks, Craig!
They also have a cephalothorax where the head and thorax are joined. The limbs connect to the thorax part of the cephalothorax. Artistic license and anthropomorphisation on the other hand….. 😛
Yyyeeeaahh… I’m not drawin’ all that… lol
