June 29th, 2000 -- Dee's Big Book of Spiders
Nefilim renfieldus places Renfield in the same genus as the Nefilim afarensis, the golden orb weaver spider. The golden orb weaver spider supposedly spins the largest, strongest webs in the Aranea family-- tough enough to catch birds. I'm totally bs'ing about the poison, though. Spider venom actually works as a digestive enzyme, and in addition to causing paralysis it makes a bug's insides liquefy. But, that's not narratively convenient.

Within 24 hours, Bauhaus releases a new album (inspiring my inner black-hearted Goth), and Gary Gygax passes away (crushing my inner magic-user geek). What up with that, world?

I'm getting better-- the arrival of nearly 40 lbs. of temple oranges bodes for the return of full health. I'm genki enough that I'm trying out some really weird things this week-- expect amateur attempts at illustration stunts instead of plot. The blue pencil really has me trying things out.

Day 8 of this ruddy cold, and little sleep last night due to coughing. If a strip for Monday goes up, it's most likely to happen on Tuesday.
