Snakes just can’t fight the stereotype. They need to develop a really colorful publicity campaign. Maybe a movie where they only eat the bad guy. Oh – Right. Been done. Didn’t improve their image.
The Bible mentions the “forbidden fruit” but never specifically points out that it is an apple. But people have been accepting that it is an apple for centuries even after reading the actual text.
I just noticed there’s no “license this comic” button which for other strips takes me to a site where I can search the text of previous comics; I’m looking for the one where BC? asks for a sign from God, gets a bunch of natural phenomena plus the stone rolling away from the tomb, and gives up: “all I get are these interruptions!”

Because it’s too tempting.

You need to add “Gluten Free”.

That’s what caused all that trouble in Eden.

The first guy didn’t charge for the apples.

Well … there is this story about a snake in a garden with a fruit tree.
… it was like paradise … and as the story goes … well … no more garden, no more paradise, and the snake get blamed (takes the fall) …
… and, oh … supposedly …. snakes used to have legs.

No, but, fangs for the offer…

I’ve always wondered where people got the idea it was an apple.

Biblical prejudices, I guess.

Being organic, one might suspect the apples are “wormy.”

Because organic usually cost more than regular?

Bad marketing.

A talking snake and some questionable apples sound like the beginning of a fairytale.

Sorry, no “organic” for me. Yesterday I saw organic cucumbers @ $4.98 each, I hope they all rot on the shelf, don’t reward greed.

A very early example of politics interfering with the free market. You pi***ed the big guy off and he set the media on you.

Apples with fang holes in them? Other than the Witch-Queen from Snow White, who’d want them?

Where does a serpent or anyone grow apples on barren lava covered landscape?

They bought into religious agitprop.

I’d buy them. Eden? It’s a bit late to be worrying about that.

Because of stupid religious myths.

Boa: means good in Portuguese. Constrictor: self explanatory. Boa constrictor: Good squeeze.

In modern marketing terms, the problem is called branding.
