Inktober 2: Spider

There’s a NO in “arachNOphobia.” 😬

*No mice were harmed in the making of this comic, but they may have experienced the heebie-jeebies.*

If you’re wondering why there’s suddenly a random elephant in the comic…
In the very first Lab Mice drawings (a series of doodles on a high school biology quiz), a mouse met an elephant, who panicked (“elephants are afraid of mice”) and inadvertently squished the mouse. The mouse reappeared in a body cast, the elephant apologized, and the two agreed to be friends. And then Elephant almost never appeared again. So here she is, 18 years later! Does a character count as “recurring” if she’s only seen about once every decade?
