Presents for Biologists

Title text: A lot of these are actually non-venomous, but I can see which species you mistook them for. If you pause the crane for a sec I can give you some ID pointers for next time!

Explanation

In this strip, Black Hat is a supervillain subjecting James Bond to a death trap, similar to 123: Centrifugal Force (presumably Mr. Bond managed to escape in that instance). This time, however, he has another victim, Hairbun, being subjected to the same device - a pit full of snakes. While Bond yells at Black Hat for his schemes, Hairbun instead gushes over the sight of an unfamiliar snake species within the pit, asking Black Hat to lower her in faster. The caption reveals that Hairbun is a biologist, and apparently this death trap is a present for her for some occassion.

[Hairy and Hairbun are hanging upside down from ropes attached to their feet. Underneath them, there is a pit with many snakes. Black Hat to the left is operating a lever.]

Hairy: You won't get away with this!

Hairbun: Ooh! Ooh! That one is a new species for me!

Hairbun: Hey, can you lower me faster? It's getting away!

There's a surprising amount of overlap between "Good presents for biologists" and "Things villains want to do to James Bond."

Is it really a snake? --Purah126 (talk) 02:13, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

How sure are you that this is not Miss Lenhart? I mean, she's presenting as a scientist. Nitpicking (talk) 03:27, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

She's stolen her attitude from John Galt, who tells the bad guys' flunky how to repair the failing torture machine. 172.71.22.53 12:41, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Looking at the current edit, I now agree that she is Science Girl. She has the little braids and all. Nitpicking (talk) 01:12, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Would the biologists be less interested in the shark tank if the sharks were equipped with frikkin' lasers, or would they have enough general interest in science that it would increase their enjoyment?172.70.86.32 17:27, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

That's a pretty lazy job of attaching the victims to the ropes. If they are sufficiently physically fit, its possible to bend up at the waist, grab the rope, and climb up out of harm's way / release their foot and swing off to the side.

They won't be able to release their foot, though, because it's tied with an ominknot.172.70.90.252 11:15, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
