Yup, Cobras
Shaenon: Pencils for another Kickstarter commission. Who likes cobras?
Channing: It’s amazing to me how much love these guys still get despite their comparative rarity in the comic. Congrats to Shaenon on the idea for them. I think. Sometimes it gets a little hazy as to which of us launched a specific gag.
HUGS!!
HUGS!!
HUUUUUUUUUUGS!!!!!!!!!! 😀
I like cobras!
Well, ok, in general not a huge fan of cobras. Poisonous snakes not really my idiom. But genetically engineered intelligent talking super adorable puppy cobras? Those, I like.
(So does that make a speciest, or a sapiest, or an adorablist, or…?)
Think about it this way… Imagine your most memorable snake characters replaced by these guys, and the difference in the story they would make.
Jafar-Cobra? (Take your choice of manifestations)
Thulsa Doom?
Pythor P Chumsworth ? (or any of the Serpentine)
Mr Crowley?
Raiders of the Lost Ark Pit Snakes?
Kaa?
Rattlesnake Jake?
If Quetzalcoatl were one of these guys, he’d STILL be the leader of the civilized world. And we’d all probably be better off. 😉

*Think scaly*
Quetzalcoatl as one of these guys…
Have to leave the room to squee
Jafar-Cobra as one of these just sounds creepy and disturbing, to be honest.
However, Quetzalcoatl attempting to hug people, even if he would still rip the harts out of everyone, would be the most adorable thing ever.
@Pythor P. Chumsworth (or any of the Serpentine)?
And now I’m imagining the Great Devourer trying to hug the Ultra Dragon. Most adorable battle EVER. I wonder what would happen to Garmadon in that situation (best case scenario: same thing as happened in the canon, worst case scenario: he becomes a whiny mockery of adorableness, rivaled only by Scrappy Doo).
Can’t think scaly, dear, I’m a kitty, nyao. On the other paw, I’m VERY good with fuzzy logic! >-_^<
“Hug us!”
“Adorable Baby Cobras. Why did it *have* to be Adorable Baby Cobras?!”

See the art done for commission!
See the pencils, rough rendition!
See the cartoons I draw daily!
See the kids, so cute and scaly!
Who likes cobras? I like cobras
All the folks who helped Kickstart me
Say, “I gave you dough, so art me!”
Bunch of snakes is kinda creepy …
Still, it pays for food and T.P.!
Who likes cobras? I like cobras
All around, they slink and slither …
With their eyes that say, “Come hither!”
Happy cobras, they’re relaxin’ …
Far away from Samuel Jackson!
Who likes cobras? I like cobras
I WANT TO HIT LIKE SO. DANG. BADLY.
I can’t remember if I told this story here… so I’m gonna tell it.
There was an “exotic dancer” who was walking home after her last set when a man stepped out of an alley. He menaced her with a knife, got her into the alley and told her to strip. As she was removing her jacket her dance partner, a ten foot python, poked his head out to see what was going on. The assailant was picked up half a mile away for disturbing the peace; he’d gotten that far while running and screaming.
I patiently await the opportunity to purchase plush cobra scouts.
THIS. Then we can hug them for real!
And I suddenly picture cute, cuddly plush cobras wearing green uniforms with little merit badge sashes and brightly colored neckerchiefs.
Maybe you do, Mr. Burns-White. I impatiently await that opportunity.
Man, the *real* question is “Who DOESN’T like cobras?”. Especially cute huggable puppy cobras who need hugs. I was all full of plans to animate the beginning of Skin Horse (until neurological problems got severely in the way), and all because it’d give me the chance to animate cute little cobras
PLEASE DON’T ANIMATE ANY OF SKIN HORSE. Animators always impose too strictured a formula on great characters. Face it, READERS actually LIKE the work, and bring their personalities TO YOUR WORK.
Watching animation is to accept bullying. YES, SHAENON, go ahead and take Hwy’wood’s money. You’ll enjoy having it for a while.
And you might like working with modern equipment and highly-paid ‘professionals’. Somehow it seems to me you’ll lose a lot.
Don’t mind an old man’s kvetching.
