Every year the Perishers would go camping and one year Maisie killed a spider. She was warned by Wellington that the Queen of the Spiders would appear in the night seeking revenge.
That night Marlon (who was gormless exemplified) crawled out of his tent to look at the sky. He started to have his epiphany, seeing the majesty of the Universe. He was just about to grasp the meaning of it all when Maisie laid him out with a huge frying pan.
"I'm sorry Marlon," she said. "I thought you were the Queen of the Spiders come to get me !!"
Poor old Marlon .... almost there, but didn't make it. Absolutely class comic strip.
