How Snakes Got Their Names 2
antcomics on Nov. 14, 2007
And we continue with the Series “How Snakes Got Their Names.” As mentioned in the last submission, this was a series of drawings I did when I realized how many funny names snakes have. There are several more to go, so stay tuned. I drew these small, so I decided to put 2 on a page rather than just one.
They were drawn small because they were originally for a newsletter, and I needed them to fit in a column.
I thought of an idea, too…perhaps I'll post this in the forums later, but I'll let you guys in on it now. Once I am finished with “How Snakes Got Their Names,” I'm going to have a contest. Here's the deal:
DUN-DU-DU-DUNNNNN!…
Submit to me the name of a snake (find the weirdest/funniest name of an actual species of snake that you can find, obviously one that I didn't already do here). The best submission (one I like best) wins, and I will draw your snake and give you credit and a plug for your comic. In addition, your character(s) from your comic will make a cameo appearance in a future Slippy & Alice strip! Whaddya say! Start Googlin' those snakes…well, when I'm done posting mine…
In other news I got this other big idea to start another ‘comic’. I noticed that I have all sorts of other cartoons and comic strips lying around that aren't The Ants or Slippy & Alice. I thought ‘why not put them on DD?’ So, I started “The Cartoon Grab-Bag: You Never Know What Yer Gonna Get!” here at DD, and it features miscellaneous Non-Ant, Non-Slippy & Alice works by me. It's going to be a lot of fun, because not only will current stuff be put up there, but some ‘classics’ as well. That's right folks–you'll get to see stuff I did as a kid…during high school…in college…but all cartoon or cartoon-related, of course!

Let me know what you think! And keep checkin back too. You may soon find out what my drawings looked like when I was six! :) (Or, B.A. - Before Ants)…

Yeah Rattlesnake is pretty obvious. I thought first of making it a maraca, then thought the baby snake would be better. Thanks for the compliment on the Grab Bag. Some of it will be funny stuff, but some won't. I actually put it in the 'Other' category rather than 'humour'. That leaves it wide open so I can put just about anything in there. I can't wait to show you guys some of my ancient stuff. You'll laugh your butts off.

Ok...let's see, I'll definatly think of a snake, I'd love Frank and Vinny in a Slippy and Alice =D and also, the Cartoon Grab Bag looks good, even if it's not hilarious stuff like the comics you make now, the arts still amazing, therefore we can all be happy! Huzzah! (Why didn't I think of Rattle snake?)
