Bloomin’ Faeries! #385

  1. Has Crystal decided that this would be a good time to have forty winks? Her eyes seem to be closed.

    1. She’s still unconscious from her brush with dissipation. Right now, she’s absorbing natural energy, and hovering on the edge of death.

      1. Yeah, she’s gone from translucent to gray…

        …I’ll take that as progress.

  2. O…. kayyy. So they’re not friends, the spider-thing and the faeries. Good to know. ^^;

    1. On the other hand the spider thing and the human appear to be fast friends.

      1. For the record, I’d like to point out that I am not doing it out of my own free will. Being dead/zombified should be considered extenuating circumstances.

        Could be worse though, at least Shelob still lets me post in the comments.

        1. Not for long.

        2. Duly noted. I am sure no one blames you.
          We should blame the Blonde Meanie.

      2. Actually, I think the spider considers the human to be an enemy. You know, keep your friends close & keep your enemies closer. Why don’t we just refer to the guy as a “frenemy?”

  3. Blue Bug needs to go get the Princess… or maybe someone not in an orgasmic coma

    1. Maybe Nadia.

    2. Or Baby?

      1. Or the wizard?

      2. I’m not sure Baby would want to help Crystal. ^^; Not if she could puzzle out that Crystal was involved with what Spunky did to her.

  4. This is so unrealistic … all that sticky stuff comes from the lower area. 🙂
    On a sidenote that spider hasnt technically been named yet – just been a reference to lotr that there would be a big spider?

    1. That just makes it all the more disturbing. Who has been squirting sticky white stuff into the lurker’s mouth?

      1. Better question: exactly HOW are the Lurker and the spider entangled?

        1. From what we can see it would have to have to be connected to the brainstem to have control over his body at least. Then depending on how it looks (does it have a lower body part?) it might have parts of itself inserted inside the lurker, but we see the legs below so might just have the upper parts then legs wrapped around the corpse. Besides that there might be a hole to spit the webbing (or whatever it is) from its face hole.

        2. If it is a corpse….
          Spiders generally are not fans of cold meat.

        3. Once bitten, a spider’s prey has a limited time before either the venom or the fact of being eaten kills it. And most natural spiders are limited to cold-blooded prey.

          Madame Shelob the Puppeteer may have different tastes though.

        4. True, very true. They’re room temperature even before dying. Still, that temperature at least needs to be of spring-level, or they’d be dormant.

        5. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen spiders depicted as spitting webbing rather than extruding it from their backsides as is the actual case. There may be an inhibition about portraying the reality given the tendency of some people to associate that end of the body with naughty functions.

          It’s possible though that this decidedly unnatural spider has its own unique way of doing things.

        6. It reminds me of a fascinating show about exotic spiders, which ended in a chilling bitof speculation.
          There is a type of spider that shoots webbing like a net.
          There is a type of spider that works in packs.
          If they were hybridized and grown large …. they could hunt humans.

  5. Where have I seen that mustache before?

    1. Lurker, he was sent by the Wizard (or was it the Sorceress at the time?) to find spiders to deal with the Gnat-infestation, last seen outside a spider cave

      1. And I must point out that the first part of the mission was successfully completed. The second part’s failure is mostly due to the fact nobody mentioned the difference between spiders and SPIDERS.

        1. No, no, I’d call your mission to find spiders an unqualified success. You got the motherload.

          It’s just the bit where you were supposed to bring them back that went completely pearshaped.

        2. I wouldn’t even call it a failure yet either as Lurker/Shelob could still go back to the wizard in that state.

        3. MidnightDStroyer

          I would still call it a failure because the first part of the mission was to find spiders (plural)…He found only ONE.

        4. Ah, but he made up for it by finding a big one instead.

  6. After that close-up, I’m going to be hearing the spider-lurker’s dialogue in Vincent Price’s voice. Which, given that the big eaters among natural spiders are females, adds just one more layer of wrong.

    1. now try not to imagine that Vincent Price was a woman…

  7. “Fly, you fool!”
    ~almost a Gandolf quote.

  8. Comparing Panel_2 to Panel_5, I’m asking:
    “Where did MOST of that sticky-stuff go?”
