Not intentionally. Β I drew this picture long before that show was even a glimmer in Lauren Faust's eye. Β The colors just work well together.

Yeah, I knew this was made in 2008, but gotta admit, when viewed in a 2015 lens, the coincidence of her color scheme, eye color, and hairstyle together matching a certain apple pone is quite funny.
Of course, it IS just coincidence. We don't have time travel just yet...Β
Also, spider silk bridges would be friggin' awesome to have. Cheap to maintain, and as you said, ridiculously strong and durable.

Possibly. Also, if I had a stack of hundreds for every Bill Cipher I've seen, I'd be pretty damn rich.

I guess she gets assigned to repair the Golden Gate bridge a lot, seeing how many timesΒ weΒ that bridge getting destroyed.

Reminds me of how biotechnologists are still trying to produce spider silk for applications such as this. Since spider silk is such a big protein, they're using goat mammary glands. They've created genetically engineered goats that produce it in their milk. (They're only 0.0000001% spider...but technically they ARE "spider-goats".) They got the protein isolated, but, unfortunately, it fell through for one major reason: producing the protein is only "half" of the equation. Apparently the "spinneret" organ is just as essential to properly assemble the proteins into strands that make high quality silk that has the desired properties. Attempts to "replicate" the spinneret so far have yielded product inferior to steel... We'll have to actually make a synthetic spinneret itself to get it to work, which is a problem because biologists don't really understand how the spinneret works yet.

I've noticed you keep referring to "the change" in your descriptions. Is it some kind of widespread medical condition in this setting?

Interesting work here. Good to see that a 'monster' has been allowed to do something useful for society, instead of eating derelects in some dark alley. Good job, decent taste.
As for the lack of cars, maybe they closed the bridge for repairs?

I thought so when I drew this. I'm not so sure now. Consider that an interesting side possibility.

An excellent way for driders to be useful and practical in a modern setting. Though, I do hope all driders eat enough protein, because making that quantity of silk would be very draining, I'd think.
Keep up the good work, you just earned another watcher.

Ha ha, funny. I'm sure you know, but I'll say it anyways: it's a riddle, the answer to which is 'spider thread'

Yah, cheap and easy money, although I suppose your spinnarets might be sore and tired at the end of every day:
"Honey, can you make me a hammock?"
"I'm tired, dear; just use the rope one in the garage."

To say nothing of their large protein needs to generate new thread. In the wild, spiders will often consume old web to conserve that particular resource.

But could you imagine her ordering them at the local In & Out Burger... I'll take 2 dozen, big, fresh, juicy, a side of flies and a large beetle to go....
And did you know that some silks can be made more weather and water resistant for building egg sacks and draglines?
