Snakes on a Plane














Today's cartoon is brought to you buy Greek Mythological Premises, Inc.


This was neither a Bizarro cartoon, nor one printed in Parade Magazine. I drew this one because I think it's a great joke but never found a place to print it in the U.S. It's been printed in cartoon magazines in Scandinavia, where people do not fear that nudity or sexual humor will lead to the decay of society, but nowhere else that I know of. I show it at comedy shows, as it is one of my favorites from my career and always gets a good laugh.

Taking this premise further, Medusa would also have snakes in her arm pits and on her legs and arms. Gross. And shaving would be even grosser. Let's not talk about it.

  1. If you look don't you get turned to stone? Bathroom humor, you get hard.

  3. Everyone who commented before this comment of mine actually read this post before I was finished with it. I posted accidentally. Premature blogulation?

  9. I could swear that I saw a similar premise from Shel Silverstein Many years ago in Playboy. Still it cracked me up to see it today with the Piraro flair! Awesome dude!

  11. i would assume to prevent lots of blood, screaming and hissing, medusa would go au-naturale instead of introducing the art of shaving to her body.

  12. I was going with the "turn to stone" conceit at first too, before I looked more closely. I'd wondered why Medusa, and the beach, weren't rendered in color to emphasize the people being gray. But either way this comic works great.

  13. With such a nice ass, I want Dan to draw the rest of here. How nice does Medusa look in Dan's eyes? We all want to know.
