Spider Displays a Notice to a Fly that Reads "Visit My Website"

One of my cartoons features a spider holding up a placard to a fly that reads: “Please visit my website”. 

Spider and fly cartoon

It was printed in the Daily Star (UK) on October 6th, 1998. The humour comes from the clever visual pun – spiders naturally catch flies in their webs, so turning that into a modern joke about a website makes it immediately funny. 

The juxtaposition of a spider’s predatory instinct with a human-like appeal to online visitors is a simple but effective gag that resonates with readers. 

This cartoon is ideal for print on cards or merchandise, offering a playful nod to both internet culture and classic visual humour.
