Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
I'm still salty that I once lost a game of trivia because I said this myth was false, and the "official" answer said it was true.
Now you know why.
Darn Spiders Georg.
If it helps, I - a stranger - am absolutely livid on your behalf.
It does help, thank you.
Sorry, the card says moops
Was their source the moops?
Here you go, if it’s any comfort after the fact.
Nice.
Do you have a source that this claim is just a myth?
It was intended to be an example of a ridiculous "false fact" that went on to become widely believed.

Also, I can barely eat 6 spiders in one sitting.
6 orders of spiders, maybe.
We've all made the embarrassing mistake of ordering 6 orders of spiders, thinking it was 6 individual spiders, and succumbing to a ego belly encumbered with as many as 36 spiders for sake of seeming ignorant of how spider restaurants work. And since it's usually a mistake made on nascent visits in unfamiliar cultural territory, we're already acting inured to the strangeness of eating raw spiders, so it's often a double-whammy.
And the worst part is that they charge extra for any leftovers, so you can't leave even a single leg unmasticated.
Thanks for the link! Was an interesting read.
So you have a source that its true?
