Gosh, what a swell, fool proof test…

I think the good doctor just enjoys that kind of thing.

Are those spiders from Mars? And where is Ziggy?

The crew member is Jim Stafford. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpidersandSnakes

That Dr. Mel, what a joker !

…and if we think they are witches…we waterboard them…if they survive they are guilty!

and if they don’t survive, they were innocent and will go straight to paradise, so it’s all good…

Well, I guess that means all our American soldiers who went through SERE training must be witches. Jeez, you people.

Salem Witch trials and the dunking pond.

Want to see real fear? Throw in some squirrels!

Sometimes, Dr. Mel, you outsmart yourself.

Spiders! David Bowie! 8-track tapes!

AAAAHHHHH RUN AWAY RUN AWAY

(Last time I promise)

After all, Dr Mel is a mad scientist is he not?

Dr. Mel is one of the squid people in disguise…one crew member at a time is gooooiiiinnnng

“Snakes and Spiders”? Sounds like a new California bar drink sensation.

Here’s Jim Stafford and Dolly Parton singing “Spiders and Snakes”, from his official YouTube channel:

A more straight-up version with some help from the Smothers Brothers:

I freaking love this comic.

Don’t fear fear. Fear fools with power.
