– I’m mostly feeling better now. Thanks everyone!
– The Modest Medusa Black Friday sale starts today and runs Monday morning. Get the hardcover Modest Medusa Season 1 and 2 books for the great price of just $25! That’s a $9 savings! What a great gift! Check out the sale here.
– The next Modest Medusa live draw event will be this Saturday at 5pm (Portland time). Come hang out, chat and watch me draw some stuff. Here’s the link. Doing a monthly live draw was one of my Patreon goals. Patreon is keeping me alive right now, and I truly appreciate the support. I had a long conversation about Patreon with a few other artists tonight, and I think one of the things we agreed on was that very often the people who back us for a few dollars every month don’t realize how much that support means to us. It means everything. Thank you all so much.
– I feel like I had something else to talk about, but I can’t remember what it was.
These last few pages have been really heart warming.
Thanks.
The throatsnake returns and still disconcerting.
I keep hoping it will be someones favorite character.
It’s pretty darn cute this time.
Cheers!

the throat snake is now my favorite character , and i love the tiny crown it has.
right now the snake that is asleep with its tongue hanging out all over is my favorite
I just hope there will never be a bum snake, that would just be too icky.
Euwww…
The secret twist is that Throat Snake is really the main character and it’s just dreaming about Modest and Jake.
Im sure it is they just dont mention it.
Only if it starts talking like a film noir detective.
it appeared before?
Throatsnake honestly creeps me out. That’s all I can really say.
Wait….returns?
Someone point me to the prior appearance of the Throat Snake please. I don’t recall.

Thanks.
Wow. It returns… but that raises some very interesting thoughts.
So, we know through Modest’s mom that medusas will eventually turn into a complete snake. Or a multi-headed snake that eventually turns into a single snake. Anyway, perhaps the snake with the crown (also knowing Modest is “the princess”) represents the “true snake” that Modest is supposed to eventually become. The crowned snake might her “real self” , in a sense.
I concur. That is completely what I was thinking. I also wonder if this doesn’t mean that Modest is destined to be different than her mom. This kind of loyalty, this kind of sacrifice, stays with a person. And if Mara is comforting that “true self”…
Creeeeeee-py
The HELL was that?
This is even more disturbing than watching Jake make chocodiles…
Modest has the *weirdest* dreams!
ok…since throat-snake was involved, i´d say there´s no way this was a normal dream…maybe mara´s ghost wanted to comfort her? but why now, and why where her eyes firmly closed? personaly, i´m still hoping that mara will return somehow. i mean, who knows whats possible in a world with chainsmoking mermaids and ferret pirats?!
…….ghost, zombie, Angel, other supernatural thing or dream?
Wait?? Where did the throat snake first appear? I can’t remember and I have read this comic from page 1

Thoatsnake: Now with Crown! Get your’s today!! (ew)
I like Throatsnake. It seems to only appear when things are about to take a twist.
Keep it up, Jake.
The snake equivalent of a third eye?
she isn’t snoring, shes just laying there yelling SNOOOORE! 🙂
Also this freaked my mind.
Crown Snake shows up in #340 in Mara’s “winter dream”. I’m going back and reading the HUGE part I skipped before, and came across that.
IDK if it’s the first appearance, or if there’s more, but “throat snake” has been here before.
First appearance seems to be #86, and with #340, I’m wondering how many times… just waiting for someone to frantically go back and read all the comics to find out.
I’m not very keen on the name throatsnake – however I’m thinking that its likely a vision of the true modest medusa : A real princess with a real crown. It’s Modest’s true nature and her vision. Why don’t we call it the crownsnake, or princess snake or something like that, instead?
Real snakes, lacking eyelids, would not be able to close their eyes.
There’s something about licking/tasting the wrist that seems right and is disturbing at the same time. I like it!
I knew it was a dream.
I’m like, uh oh, she fell sleep.
So glad I remembered this comic. I love how seamlessly it goes from awwww hugs to wow feels.
So glad I have so much to catch up on.
I like how it reads the letter
