Here’s a little bit of the history that goes with the story. The infamous drawing of the 7 legged spider by David Thorne was sent to an overdue account for compensation. Below is the beginning of the conversation and find the full conversation on Geekologie. Let me tell you it was definitely worth the read, and gave me a laugh.
So here we have this creative conversation, and now the spider has been sold on eBay for $10,000! Of course it was the 7 legged version not the remade 8 legged version. Crazy, huh? Someone is now making accessories for this spider and also selling them on eBay. I wish that I would have thought of something like that. ;]
“However, this spider is driving me nuts. Also he’s lacking a leg and thus is useless to me. I now offer you to buy this fine piece of spider for the original price set my the artist David Thorne himself.
At $233.95 this should be considered a bargain for the original drawing in this Internet meme!
I will donate some of the money for American Breast Cancer Foundation.”
