This is a strip I've had planned for the role playing storyline for quite some time. I'd had the basic idea plotted out in a notebook years ago and I've always had a good idea in my head of how this episode would pan out... Except it never occurred to my until I came to draw it that it was going to be something of a challenge to depict an arm/handless snake applauding. I tried thinking of a couple of ways to make it seem plausible, but to no avail. So in the end I just stuck with him whistling. And yes, that's how snakes whistle for those of you who were wondering...
