Spider City...aka...my Bathroom

    Okay, I am not sure if I ever actually posted anything about this, but it seems my bathroom is Spider City. I have a "family" of bathroom spiders and have created my own little world about them. There's Ralph, Clyde, Sally, and Loo. Ralph we know the least about because he met a watery death early on, as he had decided to crawl a little closely into my line of vision. For those of you who know me, you know how extremely nearsighted I am without my glasses and as I do not wear them in the shower, it was pretty danged close for me to see him. I have this thing where I won't smush a spider...it involves getting too close to the things. So, I grabbed my shower head on a hose, aimed, and fired. I picture a little gravestone in the corner of the shower now...it reads RIP Ralph... stupid shower spider. Then there's Ralph's slightly more intelligent brother, Clyde. Clyde hangs out in the front top left corner of the shower... barely within sight, but not close enough for the death penalty. I often picture Clyde in a recliner, sporting a greasy wife-beater undershirt, beer in one of his "hands",  and a cigar hanging out of his mouth. He just kinda hangs out there, enjoying the show, I guess. Sally is our sink spider. I don't see much of her, but since her appearance our population of drain flies has decreased. She's often pictured with a broom in her hand, bandanna on  her head, and sporting two little pigtail braids. Then, there's Loo. Loo is our toilet spider...he hangs out, you've guessed it, by our toilet. The funny thing is, he hangs out in the corner across from the toilet. Our bathroom is closet-sized so that's not far, and he's right at eye height when we are seated on the throne. I have often seen him swaying back and forth after J is done in there. I'm pretty sure he's getting high from the fumes. (update: Loo has died...we now have another Loo...same spot and everything...hehe Loo 2) Anyway, these spiders live because of a tentative truce between us and them. They stay out of our way, they eat the bugs, and they get to live. There has been a new addition as of late. This one hides out in a crevice near the bottom of the door, between the jamb and the wall. I have decided to name him Harry. Harry hides as much as he can and he really finished off a bug I didn't like near the floor. Harry gets to live, but he's rather creepier looking than the others, so I turn on the light before entering....to give him enough time to hide so I don't accidentally step on him. *shiver* When I get a chance to actually draw again, I will have a cartoon to post about my bathroom spiders. Until then, I think I will come up with some stories about them...
