The painting by Raymond Swanland at the top of page 29. It looks to me to be exploring the mood and scope of the Hand of Odd concept more than visualizing its contents. I agree the spiders seem a bit lame, and would probably have looked different if their role remained.
Slaveless, maybe the Scrabs were put into the temple via the wells. What worries me more is why the Mudokons would imprison the Scrabs like that. True they’re protected from the Magog Cartel, but it also seems cruel.
