I’m pretty sure this is an old joke, but I like new twists with it :D
But two little things I noticed. Spiders usually have more than a pair of eyes.
And also, well I can’t blame you directly, everyone makes this stupid mistake (I seen it just last week on Buttersafe), but those giant hyperboloid towers are actually cooling towers and don’t emit any radiation. Bigger chemical factories could possibly have some as well. But yeah, as the wiki stated it is mostly associated with nuclear power plants so it’s like almost natural for cartoonist to go with the easy route. (Still, it’s incorrect)
As long as we’re going for anatomical accuracy, the spider should only have two body segments, more than two leg segments, and the pedipalps are missing. In addition to a couple missing pairs of eyes, the eyes shouldn’t have pupils or eyelids.
Of course, it’s also unreasonable that none of the people in this comic have the right number of fingers. Why didn’t you point that out?
As for the cooling tower thing, I know they’re not radioactive – but I drew som cracks in them, meaning they won’t work properly, meaning the core would overheat, meaning some radiation would leak out, right? Ah well, maybe I just should’ve drawn a few barrels of toxic waste instead.
Ah, I figured the premise would have been done before, but couldn’t find someone going for the “work”-spider version above. Love the art-style of that comic, btw.
Dangerous development.
With eight appendages, he can devote 200% more arms to work than the rest of us.
They can form a new avengers team:

Second panel is great. :)
HA! Bet those pesky spiders never saw THAT coming!

Not to mention this is all terribly unrealistic. Something like this would never happen in reality.
You win an award! It’s on its way in the mail. (Est. delivery 9-13 weeks.)
Hey, he also draws octopuses with faces, and sometimes teeth…. That’s life in a surrealistic comic universe.
Yeah, I might draw in another set of eyes.

ManSpider, ManSpider,
does whatever a…
Hm. What rhymes with spider?
The end is hillarious.
I’m glad you like it!
“Someone stole my stapler”
Is it just me or do the people in the last panel look like the characters from Dilbert?
@Tm0rk: nice catch on the red Swingline.
@Kristian: I think the eyelids were required to convey the complacent boredness of Man-Spider.
