Once again, Elvis was right. The authorities did indeed, confiscate the spider. When will everyone finally understand that Elvis is always right? (and dignified.) (and he doesn’t poop!)
How long did Lupin even get to test the excellent speed and perfect bounce of the North American Plastic Halloween Spider? And did Puck get a chance to experience the unrivaled spunky torque?
Really? They are worried about their baby and domestic cat eating it, but not a wild animal? Or should we believe they threw it away properly and somehow the wild critters got into the garbage? Still love the art, if not the message.
You would think, with so much of it in the world today, that more people would see, understand, and appreciate sarcasm, especially the humorous sort. The Man is making a humorous, sarcastic, ironic remark. Instead of seeing this and laughing, too many are too eager to find fault in the nonexistent “message” of the cartoon. Look beyond your own perceptions and predispositions—especially if they are to find fault where none exists.
I think the Girl and Lupin need to double team the people to get what they want. All they need to do is have one distract the people and the other one swoops in to get it. then they share.
It does have to be something that does not harm them .

Love the expressions of Lupin and the girl. So close to tasting north American Halloween spider, yet both so far.

It does look pretty great on Thimblefist…

I feel a little sad for Lupin and the Girl … they didn’t get a chance to even LICK the spider!

Shouldn’t the spider have at LEAST one more – or TWO more – pairs of ’hand’cuffs on?!
On the bright side, the spider ISN’T “… walking The Green Mile”!! :)

Get a treasure chest from Michael’s, A.C. Moore, Hobby Lobby, or someplace like that that can be locked up and get a lock to lock it up.

Hate to point out that if you “set it free” outdoors, some poor bird or squirrel is going to eat it and won’t have anyone to save him.

Poor Lupin has had a rough few weeks. May the Lovin’ Spoonful can help him make up his mind
Did you ever have to give up your ring?
A tasty morsel you would just love to fling,
But the Woman says no, it isn’t your thing,
Did you ever have to give up your ring?
…….
Did you ever have to give up your space?
A new kitty stranger, who sometimes gets in your face,
You would like to put her right in her place,
Did you ever have to give up your space?
…….
Sometimes you have something you need to write right away,
But you don’t have your recorder, someone stole it you say,
And you have to wait until Natasha comes by,
And then the thief moves in, couldn’t get worse if it tried!
…….
Did you ever have to wait, it’s too true,
No one seems to see your point of view,
Right now you feel angry, right now you feel blue,
But it’ll all work out, you always knew!
