I kind of feel like a jerk for titling this comic the way I did, because I knew it would rile up all the snake lovers and pedantic folks in the audience. I know you wanted to push your glasses up the bridge of your nose and give me a good “Well, actually…” and then I ruined all the fun by incorporating that into the joke. Or maybe I didn’t ruin anything and you breathed a long sigh of relief. “Oh, thank goodness AK is one of us.” It’s true. I’m with ya.

I also know that snake bites don’t typically smoke like this, but we’ll chalk that up to creative liberties.
