I never really intended for the snake to become a recurring character. I just love the way Devil Dog and Vincent react to him/her! (Here, here, and here.)
"Him/her" is right folks. I never even assigned gender!
So I leave it up to you, the readers of this comic strip to NAME THE CAVE SNAKE!
Here are the rules:
1) Enter as often as you like.
2) The name must have some significance to the strip itself, the pop culture/politics the strip references, or in some personal way. (i.e., naming the Snake "Milla," "Shaun," or "Romero.")
3) You must explain the significance of the name as succinctly as possible in the comments section below. (i.e. "For some reason this strip references zombie movies every now and then. So I propose you pay homage to the king of zombie movies, George Romero, by naming the snake 'Romero.'")
THE CATCH: I will reveal the winner of this contest in THE NEXT "UP TO BAT" STRIP! And I'm planning on uploading the strip on Monday of next week. Holy cow! That's not a lot of time!
TO THE WINNER: I'm not sure. Maybe the warm satisfaction of besting others? Don't worry, I'll come up with something lame.
Get cracking! The snake won't name him/herself!
