Not sure how it got in down the chimney somehow.

So a few snapshots, then I brushed and panned the beast to the yard outside.

Maybe it was there to give you a car insurance quote.?
 
Don't do insurance or cars for that matter, I'm too manly for imaginary safety nets and I don't need a 2 ton toxic killing machine to get around. If I can't get there via my ebike, then I'm most likely not going there, maybe a bus if needs be that happens maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

Though I did have to roundup that gecko and send it to the wild, the beast would have starved to death indoors.
 
@StevOz,
Ooh wow, am I jealous.

Hey, question-- how many poisonous critters do folks in your town have to deal with on the regular?

I'm guessing it's nothing too crazy in the suburbs of a big city, but maybe I'm wrong?
 
The two most common lethal species would be the dugite in summer and the red back spider.



Also my city is actually rather on the smaller side with a population of about 80 000.

Dang-- NICE ONE!

So, I actually remember playing with one of these suckers when I was 6yo, along with Raven, my best friend. We were kids... invincible! Not to mention, it was fun! And that's what always mattered, of course.

EDIT: No, the SPIDER, not the SNAKE. Sorry, I mixed them up just there. :/
 
Deck Five, sir?

 
That's not a real snake tale...

This is a real snake tale!


One of the finest newspaper comic strips ever, use to read it daily when dad had done the crossword, when the daily paper was a thing.

Damn, I'm sorry I missed that now that it's down. Did you preserve any samples?

A good friend runs a world comics site, and might be interested in highlighting that one, depending.

On Reddit yesterday I witnessed a praying mantis chomping down on a wasp, whilst meanwhile a hornet was cutting it in half. Somehow the mantis didn't notice(!)

Unfortunately the 2nd linky-wink don't work here neither.

But based on the little bits I'm seeing, what a great strip!
Indeed, reminds me a good bit of the weirdo classic Tumbleweeds comic:


But I like how "Snake" gets to the point faster, more efficiently.

Thanks a bunch, Stev-arr, for sharing this gem! <3
 
Spot the pink and grey galahs...
