They're slowly taking over. They will soon overrun the entire apartment. That was their plan all along.

Yeah, my family has a nasty habit of bringing home a plant, like an aloe, or a spider plant, and ending up with 100 of that variety. We've placed most of them in homes but I wish there was a way to neuter the things!

I don't like the buggers: they grow too easily. That's why I let my cats eat them.

Well, at least it looks like you're putting some of that flat-packed Ikea furniture to good use!

You live in Brooklyn now? I thought you lived in Washington, D.C.?

In Spanish we call spider plants "mala madre", which literally translates into "bad mother" because it's like she's shoving her babies out of the pot. :-)

If you don't want them, you've got 15 birthday presents!

I wish I could take one of those plants of your hands. I accidentally killed my mother's spider plant years ago and I don't think she's entirely forgiven me. *sigh* Can't find a replacement in our area for the life of me!

I so would.

I've been wanting to get a spider plant for a while now. How do 15 just get dropped in your laps? That's no fair.

OMG stripey tail! That's such a cute illustration, but I must admit that the story is EVEN COOLER. :D

So I'm assuming the person handing the baby spider plants to Yuko is her dad?
Hahah, I love how he always speaks off "camera."

I will hear nothing of this heresy! Dinosaurs had orange rings? Bah! Bah, I say. It's sacrilege. Everybody knows dinosaurs were metal-gray with yellow and red highlights.

And now he's no longer alone :D

Let's hope there won't be aphids this coming spring

One of these days I'm gonna get here before the original art sells out.

Spider plants are hilarious. They're like the vermin of the plant world that have been mistakenly identified as cute and domesticated, like rats.

Also, sweet-ass dino.

Dude I totally would adopt one of your spider plants! I want my house to be a jungle too. But i bet they are cheap anyway, those things.

the look of fear at the extra plant arms is beautiful

I can't help it.
I get this "that happens when you have unprotected sex"-vibe from this comic. Yuko's face in the last panel adds to it.
For someone with my taste of humor, this is hilarious.

Man oh man.

My mom has had a spider plant since we lived in an apartment at least seven years ago. I think the original one died, or so I hope.

But spider plants reproduce in insane numbers. The one my mom was keeping alive for some reason, had at least 15-20 offshoots and she would try to grow them in their own pots.

At some point I think I intentionally killed off the original so she only had a few babies left, but it was only a matter of time before THOSE gave birth...

The coloration of Dinosaur scales and feathers eh? Fascinating. How did they figure out the color I wonder? Also it's always good to hear there are others out there who listen to NPR. I was raised on NPR, tuned in to Prairie Home Companion every Sunday. (I have listened to much of This American Life, but I feel like I should give it more of a chance.) I also listen to WXPN and World Cafe out here in Philly.

Too bad you're not in the Vegas area. I would take a couple of those plants off your hands. =3 I just recently moved and Stacy claimed custody of all our plants.

So, spiderplant came back with a vengeance?

Holy cow, thanks for posting that article, I sort of glimpsed it on the news last night, but the real estate agent was at our house so I couldn't see it. D= and now I do! Holy crap that's freaking awesome. Er, excuse me while I nerd in the corner over dinosaurs.

My mom's got a bunch of plumerias that remind me of Wolf - every time a branch snaps, she just sticks it in a pot of soil and suddenly we've got another 5 foot tall plant. They're really pretty, but a pain in the butt, since they've got to be moved inside during the fall and back out during the spring. Wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have, yknow, about 6 of them now.

Also, EPIC DINOSAUR COLORS YESSSSSSS

oh god orange and white dinos!!!! i bet they tasted like peaches and cream.... if you licked them.

Sinosauropteryx is the dinosuars name, yes?

Or is it... SinosauROFLteryx

sorry, couldn't resist
palaeontolology is epic.

I love dinosaurs. Fortunately, for me and other dorks at my college, there is an online dinosaur class offered every other year. It's tons of fun and one of the videos we just watched for an assignment was about a dinosaur "mummy" dubbed Dakota.

Somehow or another, Dakota's skeleton, skin, and possibly a lot of his internal organs fossilized. If you get a chance to look it up, I think PBS did the special on it, but I don't know for sure. It was really really cool.

I have the same issue with my Coleus. They just keep growing and growing, I have at least 5 planters with parts from the same original plant I got years ago.

Crazy stuff lol.

Are you guys tired of the Quaker Parrots yet? lol!!!

Hey, can I have one? My spider plant died back in Beacon. I left it out on the veranda for a day in the warm sun and that happened to be the day that a huge wind storm came and tossed everything all over creation. The root trauma proved to be too much for it.

You should bring spider plant babies and give/sell them at cons... ooh crossover idea... they could be the spider plant from GWS... you could have a cactus with a moustache and sombrero!

Wolf has a family now!

I just realized... YUKO'S DAD IS ACTUALLY IN THIS FRAME. I should be frightened, but instead I'm super-curious.
