From the sun-baked wit of Australian newspaper comics comes Snake Tree!!, a collection of selected strips from the beloved Snake Tales cartoon strip that ran in the Daily Telegraph and other Syndicated Australian publications. The strip centres on a sardonic snake dangling from a tree, delivering sharp, irreverent one-liners that skewer everyday life with a distinctly Down Under sensibility — a corner-dwelling clown who lets the cartoon do the talking. Cartoonist Salisbury crafts a deceptively simple visual world — minimal lines, maximum punchline — that places it firmly in the tradition of great newspaper strip humour. The self-referential gag on the title page, I only say it!! It's the clown in the corner who writes it!!!, sets the tone perfectly: cheeky, self-aware, and utterly unrepentant. For fans of Australian cartoon history or lovers of classic newspaper strip humour, this compact collection is a charming time capsule that leaves you wondering just what else that snake had to say.
