Some Korean Letters Look Like Pictures

I saw some Asian (Japanese? Korean?) writing on a sushi ad in the paper today, and was struck by how much the main symbol looked like a spider. 
  
It was fun playing around with the idea that my Siamese ‘says’ the character and Marcus can’t understand what she’s saying (or why she’s constantly pointing).  He starts complaining that she needs to learn to speak English at some point. 
  
By the last panel she’s still faithfully pointing, saying the same symbol again as a big spider descends on Marcus from above (hissing too, it’s a mean spider). 
  
Not a super hilarious strip, but something sort of different.  I like how calm the Siamese stays through all this.
