Boy on a Stick and Slither

Boy on a Stick and Slither is a web comic by Steven L. Cloud.

Strips usually feature a short, pithy and sometimes surreal exchange between the title characters, the Boy who is literally only a head on a stick, and Slither the snake. The strip is characterized by dry and cynical humor.

Sample dialogue from :

Slither: Flowers think they're SO pretty!

Boy: Flowers ARE pretty.

Slither: True. But they'll be dead soon enough.

Other recurring characters include Nancy, a tooth who fights injustice, Florida Cracker, a cracker from Florida, and Frickles Mudcat, a fish who is running for President of the United States.

The comic runs twice weekly on its own web site and once weekly in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and has also appeared in some other periodicals, including Esquire Magazine.
