 This comic tale is based on a true story I heard while camping at Wooders Wild Weekend Festival. I'd just had the courage to hold a corn snake and was proudly telling my neighbour when he began to tell me what had happened to his friend while she'd been house-sitting her boyfriend's python. I laughed nervously. The next day, I returned to the animal show only to find they'd replaced the corn snake with... a python. Eventually I plucked up courage to hold it around my neck (it helped that there were a load of four-year olds clamouring to do the same!). When I got back, I wrote this comic. Obviously I had to call the python Monty. See more comics on my illustration page - www.NickiGreenham.com/illustration
