I can't draw, but decided to give it a go anyway.
For the first comic in my life, I think it went pretty well.
I'm so glad that spider's living its best life even while being crippled

Oh it is!
I wonder if spiders put webs in front of windows to catch bugs that fly towards the light, or if they put webs all over a building and we only see the ones near the windows?
Cute comic!
I'm petty sure, they place webs wherever people walk.
Cute comic!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
True that! Almost got a face full of this guy earlier this week:
That's a female Argiope aurantia. Found from Colombia to Canada. Fairly chill, they only bite big animals when hurt, and even then the bite is less concerning than a bee sting. If you're lucky you might even see a brown egg sac nearby.
Just don't grow attached to her to the point that you give her a name, those spiders are short-lived. RIP my pet Argiope argentata Kumoko (;_;)7
Thank you for your wonderful and informative comment! I went out back to see if she was still there / look for an egg sack, and snuck another pic. She's quick! Ran up the fence as soon as she saw me!
RIP Kumoko.
We had a Garden Spider for one summer on the corner of our porch.
She was so chill and we loved having her around. They often rebuild that beautiful web every night.
She laid a few sacs, but none of her children stuck in our yard, sadly.
Oh... I can't imagine waking into that.
Beautiful picture by the way
We had a spider once that, after someone walked through the web one day, started taking its web down every morning and rebuilding it in the evening.
Edit: I think it was one of these: 
Looks good! Keep goin’
As long as possible, thanks
Looks like you can actually draw my dude ☺️
And I hope to learn more, thanks for the kind words
I am a weird boy. I like letting bugs crawl on me and run from hand to hand.
With the notable exception of the times when those spiders decide that now, after they've been picked up, would be a good time to start spinning a web.
Stepped outside and walked into an orbweaver web just a few days ago
Whenever I run into a spider web, I like to immediately imagine that I just won a race I didn't know I was in. It makes me smile and feel less like I want to jump into a fire.
