This is GREAT! Show us how to draw Slylock Fox next, OK? (Speaking of whom, why doesn’t he just SHOOT Count Weirdly, claim it was self defense, and be DONE with it?)
How to draw a spider? Uh, dress up like a fly and make sounds of distress?.This time of year in the Midwest, the cricket population explodes. Their sounds at night almost keep a person awake, especially if there’s one in the room with you. (If they ever synchronized to give one giant CHIRP, it would shatter buildings.).Then, hordes of spiders of all types come out to eat the crickets. Their webs glisten as far as one can see in the grass. It stays like this until a hard frost.
Three Steps:My guy (the bold jumping spider) can perch on the end of my thumb, and is quite harmless to people. Friendly, even. They take off when you make a threatening move; otherwise they just keep an eye (or four) on you. They’re great hunters of other bugs, and don’t build web traps.The eyes on Doug’s spider made me think of jumping spiders: two really big eyes, two fairly big eyes, and some much smaller ones. They live in a 3-D perceptual world, much as we do.Have you seen the pictures (and videos) of those Australian peacock spiders? They’re also jumping spiders, and obviously have great color vision. They’re tiny, though, which is why most of them weren’t discovered until fairly recently.

Wow, the peacock spiders are pretty! We should give Doug some colored pencils and force him to draw prettier spiders in his comic.
