'Cause he killed the spider, you see, and there were lots of witnesses. My guess is that he’s in the slammer for murder.

Apparently his friends were rather bemused when he suddenly jumped up and stripped off his pants. My hub was sitting around with friends on a camping trip once when a wasp flew up his pantleg.

When I get one on my jacket you can bet that my jacket is going to fly off my back while I stomp all over it to ensure the spider has died. It's a knee-jerk reaction I have to spiders on my coats. Maybe this guy has the same reaction when it's on his pants? I’ve a pretty big fear of spiders.

I thought that because he had been in prison for a while, he lost the reflex to jump up when he saw a spider in his lap. ah, yeah I totally didn’t understand the thing about the knee-jerk reaction.

Still, the strip is always about the guy on the left (his distinctive hair-do being often obscured by a hat); and this prison layout has been used before with the caption unmistakeably being his narration. Since most of us would merely brush the spider off, I feel the other prisoner might be wondering just how crazy this guy can get that he would be arrested (i.e. significantly beyond swatting once at his parts).

I can't imagine what that reaction would be, however, so maybe it's just me.

I've almost been knocked down on more than one occasion because I was between the spider and the door. I will admit to jumping out of bed when I've discovered a spider in there with me, but that's only common sense. Living with an arachnophobe I can imagine almost anything happening.
