Early Comics - 1891's Facetious Serpent

EDIT: Being the deranged Alien creature that i am, i did not even notice that the shapes that the snake is taking here are letters, much less see that they formed a word. I in no way meant to disparage Gordie with a slur i didn't perceive.
Any IDIOT involved here is the damn fool who couldn't see the actual joke of the strip. 
Carry on.

This post is actually just a reply to Kid, so it's Very short. But, i figured it was worth making it into a post simply because it's a comic strip from a time before a lot of us think of their having been comic strips - back in January of 1891.

From Harper's New Monthly Magazine, artist Caran d'Ache brings us The Facetious Serpent -





Now i need cuppa to wake up the rest of the way...
