@Llewllenbruce: I was just gonna say, “It looks like a harmless grass snake to me – poor thing,” but you beat me to it. If the comic was in color we’d know if it was a grass snake or a garter snake.
Uh, it is in color. The snake is green.Slim hit his head hard enough to be knocked unconscious before. Then he gets dropped and the same spot (or nearly the same spot) hits the concrete floor when they drop him.
If Mr. Scancarelli reads this, he should know this sounds like the crowd over at Dick Tracy before that strip changed hands. It got downright ugly over there.
Syndicate coloured unfortunately rather than artist coloured. Most newspapers (remember newspapers? Where you used to go to get your comics before the Internet?) run their daily strips in black & white and their Sundays in colour, and in most cases the Sundays are even printed by third party printers. So the colour of the snake is entirely what the colourist at the syndicate – or more likely at the website – thinks it should be.

Since Slim only landed on his head, there should be no damage.

A comedy of errors. Some like the genre; some don’t.
