I wasted a lot of time writing/drawing a version of this strip where Martin the cockroach handed Jack his father’s sword, “Cocktail”, to even the odds. It just got too complicated, so I switched it to the assassin spider evening things by just disarming himself.
I really wish I could have made “Cocktail” work cuz it would be fun to revisit older Skitter comics.
To talk the talk you gotta….uh oh.
… toss the toss
Not even Jack expected that to work
But anyways. One thing less to worry about.
Wait a moment. Assassin spiders eat other spiders. He may just bite him to death…
oh well.
It’s not like Jack’s never eaten another spider before.
