Spud, you’re not helping your case. Amelia WANTS the shovel for the same reason she WANTS the brick. And that reason is completely independent of whether or not there really IS a spider…
Pedantic mode on. No spider is poisonous. You can eat spiders and not be poisoned. All spiders have venom, but there are only a couple in North America that are medically significant. Pedantic mode off.

Wallace—flick the spider off of Spud, then tell Spud why.

we could get a bird instead of a shovel as it will ‘dig in’ to the spider
ok i will see myself outMuntherdoesstuff over 3 years ago
spud’s head will now have a web and the spider will give 20% of its flies to spud as a snack

This has to be one of the best strips on Gocomics and Spud is the most unique character.

If I was to guess, I would say these are the ruins of a church.

Wallace isn’t just brave, he is also wise not to give Amelia a brick.

Love the ‘historic’ landmark called Windswept once a 21 room mansion.

I couldn’t help myself. Amelia made me laugh. I shouldn’t because I’m just like Spud when it comes to spiders!

I see Wallace has learned from the pumpkin incident.

Wallace may be a trusting optimist who likes to think the best of everybody…but he still wasn’t born yesterday, Amelia.

I’m with Spud on this one. Why’d it have to be spiders?

Does this kinda look like the Alamo to anyone….?

Instead of asking for a brick Amelia should be telling Spud that the spider is laying eggs.

Just don’t hand her a garden rake.

Aren’t they all wearing gloves? Why does Wallace need a branch?

Looks Poisonous: Classic Amelia. Also, I’m guessing the rabbit is Will’s way of foreshadowing Easter is near.
cpietran Premium Member over 3 years ago
Can’t find Will’s signature anywhere today. A little help, please?

In California ruins like that would be surrounded by a cyclone fence.

“I’m not giving you a brick.” Funniest line today.

C’mon, Wallace. Scoop it up gently and place it somewhere safe on the ground.

You have gloves on just brush it of with your hand!

If Wallace gives Amelia a brick, Spud will never even remember having had a spider on him in the first place.
