I read a similar story in Creepy magazine back in the late 1960’s. Spiders were invading and taking over human bodies, and learning how to hide the silk sutures better. They eventually got really good at it.

@ chigau, # 1: Apparently arachno-communism is a real thing:
Arachno-communism – Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Arachno-communism
Arachno-communism is a system of political and economic government where the people are governed freely and fairly by giant spiders. Though arachno-communism has never been successfully put into practice, it has been portrayed in several successful and unsuccessful films, such as Starship Troopers and Starship Troopers 2; the documentaries Arachnophobia and Eight-Legged Freaks; and the …

I wonder how arachno-communism would fare against anarcho-pandas.

It is about time the USA got a viable third party. PZ for Prez!
Well, at least spiders actually attempt to get rid of pests instead of assisting them. That makes them automatically a step up from Democrats.

I admit, I misread this at first. In probably exactly the same way as the guy in the left panel misheard it. Pretty funny. I’d also just like to say, it’s nice, as an anarcho-communist, to see jokes about my political stance that don’t involve dumb and annoying liberal assumptions about what’s possible.
Vicar — LOL. Funny and well said.

When I think of spiders ruling humans, I think of “Planet of the Spiders”, the final Doctor Who story of the Pertwee era. Those spiders were not nice people, not nice at all.

Yup, billseymour, “Planet of the Spiders” is where I went too, scared the shit out of me at the time, though the blue crystal was pretty.

‘Brandon’s cult movie reviews’ at Youtube is your friend when looking for film clips with giant spiders, scorpions and other creepy-crawlies marching forward to claim the world for eight-legged egalitariansim.
But I do not recommend ‘The Giant Claw’ (nominally a bird; also the worst papier-mache monster in film history).
Warning, ‘Turkish Spiderman’ is a bit of a douchebag who beats women.

Heh.
Where is this from?

logged in just to say huzzah to The Vicar #10!

sjwslayer @#18 that’s nice for you poppet.
