Between Ragnar chopping everything in sight and Searsha's wand they are managing to make short work of the spiders after the initial surprise. Except for mamma spider. Last page Ragnar took a chop at it and didn't even slow it down. So Searsha decides to get in its face with her wand.
It will be mentioned later just how impractical Searsha finds her outfit. A sorceress does enchant her costume to resist wear and tear, as well as to function as armor. So those fishnet hose might work like chain mail but they may also be as comfortable as chain mail leggings. Sorceresses move around a lot more than chain mailed knights. Since chain mail leggings are intended to protect the legs of a mounted warrior they are not the best things to run around in. Neither is pantyhose. The things you have to worry about in world-building. ;)
It occurred to me the past few weeks that this comic could be re-rated “teen” As yet there has been little profanity, (“fuck” is allowed between 3 to 5 times so long as it is not a sexual reference) the violence has been within the parameters of PG-13. Did you know that you can show lots of blood in PG-13 so long as it is not RED? And very little nudity. Fifty plus pages and no boobies! There is a ton of good old Medieval debauchery coming up but with some judicious light, shadow and blurring it could be toned down to “T”. But not to worry, I would never do that. ;)
@shout out to plymayer: I found the Giant Spider Invasion on YouTube in both regular and Mystery Science Theater 3000 versions. My giant Kmart spider looks just like the one from the movie. Go Packers! (The movie was filmed on location in Wisconsin and MST3K makes great fun of that. I was laughing my ass off) I am a bit of a MSTie and Joel and the robots did show up in my previous comic Attack of the Robofemoids.

Last and certainly never least a hearty thank you dear readers for nominations. The Drunk Duck awards are all about your participation from voting to presentations and judging. Get involved. If I can presume to judge, anybody can. And it's a great way to discover new comics.
And let's go forward into the Godstrain and Transneptunian show –um– Drunk Duck awards.
Sword of Kings is up against Transneptunian in each category it's nominated in. Funnier still I voted for Transneptunian in each of those cats and you prolly voted for SOK in each of them. And the judges will split and go for Mindfold. :D
The dreaded female nipple and the male penis!! These things destroy all that is good and wholesome!! Shield us from them!! *obvious sarcasm is, I hope, obvious* And Oh No!! Searsha lost her other hand!! Never expected that!! I guess she'll end up with two claws...! Searsha-rine!! *yeah, that sucks*
Ohhh... I can see now the hand is still attached!! And yeah, nudity in general, but the female nipple and the penis are two specific 'nudity lines' that, once crossed, change the 'feel' of American movies and visual art!
As to the rating. Seems you can get away with a lot more violence than sex or nudity. Why can they show a head explode on network television but not some pretty girl's nipple? Which should be more offensive?
That was something great about Zombeavers. The girl who was the most blatantly sexual was the one plucky enough to survive. Which is the way it often is in real life. I feel a Belinda Brandon script coming.
The female nipple naturally. Chalk it up to a bunch of puritanical protestant types who are more upset over a lack of modesty and shame than a bloodbath. After all why is it the ones who freely express their sexuality in a slasher film that the slasher kills first?
these cartoon characters NEVER listen to me! I was screaming RUN! at my computer screen...did they run? NOPE! and NOW look....girl may lose her other hand!

Searsha still has the hand, momma spider has just grabbed it with her pincers.
bravo1102 at 6:54AM, Aug. 9, 2017
No need to be so specific, it's nudity in general.

In horror movies teen age sex equals death.

As for Giant Spider Invasion, saw the "serious" version at a Saturday matinee when it was in the theaters.

Your nominations are well deserved.

Don't feel so bad, she doesn't listen to me either.
