[[A man holding a snake]]
Man: So, ah.
This is probably going to end horribly.
With me crushed, or devoured, or suffocated, or enchanted or something.
Snake: Yes.

Man: I bet people just STUMBLE in here and wind up dead ALL the time.
Without even THINKING about it. Just, “WHOOPS, wrong door…agghkk”
Snake: Fairly frequently.

Man: But I’d like to go on record that I WORRIED about this.
I CONSIDERED the RISKS of coming in here. I KNEW about your reputation. I WEIGHED the pros and cons.
I feel like that should DEFEND me somehow.

Snake: Tell you what, I’ll kill you EXACTLY as you imagined.
Man: Sweet! If I AM going to die, I’d like to at least be RIGHT.

{{header: Well, if I backed out after discovering that the Snake Room leads invariably to gruesome death, I’d feel like a wimp!}}

It was an important trip for me, a milestone in what would go on to become my career.

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
