That punchline was terrific! Very Happy
Best I've seen yet.

The author has some serious talent.

I'm still trying to figure out how a dead spider in your ear = dreaming about rain. Confused

Great parody of Mushi-shi, one of my all time favorite shows, and hilarious as always. Very Happy

The cigarette too -- another good touch.

It's no more or less "logical" than some of the actual Mushi-Shi stories. To venture a guess, presumably before the spider was dead, the noises would've been...eh, never mind, maybe it's better not to ask.

I'm somewhat undecided about spiders. They're fine when trapping flies but somewhat disconcerting when taking residence in one's toilet. I can't say I've ever had to live with one in my ear, but a yellowjacket wasp once went up my nose and I'm sure I never saw it come out.

There once was a song...

"The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out..."

That would be my guess. Wink

Notice how the elves in anime are the only ones who have really long ears? All other elves in either RPGs, Tolkien stories, or Christmas specials all just have slightly pointy ears.

Not in World of Warcraft. My ears flop when I run, they're so long.
But putting that aside. I've been following the comic for a while now. LOL, that was great. Ew, spiders! Anime hyper

I've obviously been working at a pharmacy too long when that teapot looks like a NetiPot Nasal Irrigation System.

Anyways, funny as always.

Priceless. The backgrounds were moody and brooding, all to end in that perfect gross-out scene. I swear, if this was published in the sunday funnies I'd start reading them again! Laughing

This was a hysterical installment. I wish I could go to that convention so I could compliment Robin personally on this series. Nina's adorable.

Also, this makes me feel like I should get Mushishi after all. (I had decided not to but now I'm thinking box set buy.)

Ah! Spiders in the ear.... Yes! It can happen to anyone of us! Terrifying, but true. Check out this article: http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_050607_news_spider_earache.3faa8ff4.html

But, I think i'd rather find a spider in my ear than think about the true percentage of spiders the average person swallows each night in their sleep... When that happens, you can't really be sure how many charlolets went down the hatch! However upsetting it is to find a spider in one's ear... atleast, you have the ability to get it out!! heh heh..

ROFL!! Laughing That was just awesome. Really great Mushishi spoof. Thanks for providing me w/some ausement while bored at work (and amongst coworkers who wouldn't get a Mushishi reference, of course)!
