Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for July 06, 2019

The itsy bitsy . . .

And thus, L’incroyable Spider-homme never came to be.

Hey, a phobia’s a phobia. Don’t want to scare him to death before the execution.

Yes, it’s been a very long time since “old cut throat” was last used.

Would you like a pillow for your head to land on?

That would make him feel far, far better about the whole thing.

It would help the pansy to keep his hair in order when the head rolls

“The Prince and the Count always insist on everyone being healthy before they’re broken.”

He’s not happy about where this is headed.

How the hairnet came to be.

Ewwwww, he got the heebeejeebees at the last moment….

I walk at 5 AM. Usually I am the first person down certain streets since the night before. Walking into cobwebs is almost a daily occurrence.

Also I watch spiders at work in my backyard. They catch a breeze and can go tree to tree. I saw one web about 30 feet across. I am not complaining. I have no idea how many bugs that sucker caught before it was finally destroyed by something.

So picky.

Is this the 18th century version of sterilizing the arm before giving them a lethal injection

Can you turn it around? The sun would be shining right in my eyes.

Love the way the executioner is rolling his eyes

Looks like a budget guillotine. “Well, we might need a few times around to get this done. Thank you for your patience.”

It’s a metaphor for every time you use the internet.

Going to lose his web service.

A Benny Hill sketch, Benny playing a court jester named Chirpy Chuckles, who annoys his king and faces imminent beheading:

“A messenger arrives, a reprieve from the king

Chirpy says, ’Oh, what a caper!

Just drop it in the basket, mate

And I’ll read it later.’"

[the the blade comes down……….]

What could possibly be worse than losing your head? Losing your head with spiders!

“Don’t hatchet your Counts before they chicken…”

“It’s only a spider web, don’t lose your head over it!”
