A six-panel SMBC comic styled like a nature documentary, mostly showing a lush green South American jungle. Calm narration captions read: 'It is mating season for the great pythons of the South American jungle.' / 'Having followed the female's alluring scent, the male runs his head along her spine, indicating an intent before they twine in an intricate embrace.' Then the tone breaks: 'This is bad because it is how more snakes are made.' / (over an image of a snake) 'There is already too much snake and this will just make more snake.' / 'No snakes! Stop! No more snake!' Final panel reveals a film crew in the jungle: a woman with a clapperboard tells a man holding a microphone, 'I'm not sure you're going to be the new David Attenborough,' and he replies earnestly, 'The public needs the truth!' Votey: an extreme close-up of the man's distressed, sweating face as he insists into the mic, 'Right now there is some snake, which is too much snake!'
