Couple of ways to interpret this comic:

  • The spider is an invasive species, and hitched a ride on an "invasive" boat.
  • The invaders died, and the boat has been abandoned long enough for a spider to start building a web.
  • The "invaders" are actually running away from the boat because they're scared of the spider.

It's the funniest so probably the intended meaning.

To me it’s the most obvious joke.

The traditionally tough-guy Vikings are actually running away from a spider on the boat.

Classic PBF!

  1. The spider is invading their boat while unattended and it's a bit of irony

This was the only one of his that I couldn’t wrap my head around. I initially landed on #1, but 3 is definitely his type of humor. Good call

I interpreted it as 3, but I think 2 is more PBF

  • The spider has invaded the boat, so even if they win they lose (they'll come back and find the spider).

  • The first two panels are only happening in the spider's mind (it sees its self as an invading hoard).

There is another: the Vikings, after discovering the British Isles, settled there.
