Be afraid! Be very afraid!
I don't know whether to be more afraid of the dog, especially if the dog is feeling no fear.

Oh dear! You're right, Dr. Drib, I'm having trouble finding appropriate words for this image. What year was this published?

It's an old pulp cover from 1941, I believe.

So, um, did he go to sleep in a pond and wake up with a snake on his belly? I'm having a hard time figuring out the mechanics of the situation. Yes, I am that boring in my interpretation.
Take-away lesson: do not sleep in ponds. |

Right after that, Dixie stepped back to allow a better view of the fountain and impaled herself on the spiked fence. Her husband looked up from the camear and said, "Turn a bit to the side, honey, so we can skip the blood, then we'll get you to an ER."

I see you read my vacation horror stories.
I wanted a pic of the statue to remind me to ask somebody WTH it was supposed to mean. Now I see the book cover and understand. Not really, but at least there are 2 pieces of evidence that we didn't imagine the snakey lap guy. |

I could think of a reply but since this is a family friendly forum, I'll refrain.
