Man, all this spider-hate going around. I don't like them as much as Tom, but they do have a special place in my heart. Once they get to tarantula size, my brain starts seeing them as fellow mammals that deserve to continue living. Anything smaller then that triggers my KILL IT WITH FIRE response. Agreed. Actually, of all kinds of insects squishy little creatures, spiders are the only thing that I'm fine with(as in I can let one crawl on my hand without feeling creeped out). I only keep them out of the house because of all the webs they make. E: And the webs are actually pretty useful, catching mosquitoes and stuff. |

"Wanna wang tomatoes at them?" : Who? could, for example. ^_^ I don't see Annie having a problem with spiders. They are somewhat flammable. We did see that she doesn't have a problem with spiders, nor with Ketrak attending their dinners.  I think he's talking about the arm-tree that was taken off robot's original body. Or was that planted in Young's Park? I forget. Which is why the question remains - was that tree put there permanently, or what? In which case, that got to be something impressive, no?

You would be freaked out by a dragonfly or lacewing? ...well, adult forms, anyway.  |

Ah, of course not!(unless it bites me, dragonfly bite hurts a lot) .I'm scared of cockroaches, though. One flew in my mouth when I was in first grade. Darn  |

I hate bugs because they have no concept of personal space.
For the bonus page maybe we'll have Bob see Annie and Kat laughing together again.

Eventually. Which is why the question remains - was that tree put there permanently, or what? In which case, that got to be something impressive, no? Precisely. Chekov's Tree. Anyway, back to topic. So, with a super hot girl Kat goes out, and with Annie she... goes in? Aw yeh. Hard in the paint.  You would be freaked out by a dragonfly or lacewing? ...well, adult forms, anyway. Heck yes. Craneflies creep me out especially, and they don't even have mouth parts to eat with, let alone bite or inject venom. As I've explained to people who see this reaction: the creep factor of the insect has absolutely no correlation to it's actual threat to my person. |

Aww, true friends and all that stuff. I think next week is end page, bonus page and next chapters cover. I hope next chapter is about some of the courts mysteries. Or some Coyote issues, that hasn't been resolved. I'm thinking ahead too quickly. Could be, but no "Thank you for reading, and no View AttachmentOops, I meant Monday will be the end page, Wednesday the bonus page and Friday the new chapter cover. |

Great Christmas gift for a KC Green fanatic. |

Hmph. There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said about the page.  Anyway, I hate all the sorts of arachnids and insects. Yes, they help the ecosystem, but there's still too many of them.  |

Great Christmas gift for a KC Green fanatic. Not really interested in seeing bugs fighting. Bugs that have a bigger presence and don't move around much are okay. Hah, that comic brings me back to when I was in botany club. One time we found two ladybugs mating and everyone including the teacher came to look for a while. |

Ladybugs have a pretty nasty bite, too.
I had one bite me once, and to this day I cannot get anyone to believe that it happened.

We had about a zillion of them on a porch when I taught a workshop outside in Denton, TX, a few years ago. Mean little bugs, but at least they don't swarm you like bees or wasps. Very independent. :) |

It probably was that then. I was sitting on a log that had a swarm of them inside it all climbing over it and stuff. Didn't get a good look at it. Did you get the proportional luck of a ladybug. I believe so, but only hours later I turned over a horseshoe and lost all of it. |

They cannot bite through something as thick as human skin far enough that it would be noticeable. If carefully kept in a hand, they'll dump their "chemical weapon" until your palm is thoroughly painted yellow-brown, but you still won't feel anything, other than legs slightly moving against your skin in feeble attempts to dig out (it's not a strong digger like dung beetles). What you tried to do with it? Pressed one into your mucous membrane? Fed it muto-juice? Got hit with a shrink ray? A wizard turned you into newt? I think it's the larvae that bite.

I'm kind of surprised that Annie is able to articulate that well. Her reasons for wanting to stay out of the room seem about as predicted.

What jury? Assuming criminal court, juries consist of twelve people. I've only seen three people weigh in, not counting the defense. |
