Why is Spider-Man holding a snake, you might ask?
Because the 1970s made NO SENSE, I would reply. Of all the things that we might do at the fair, my brother and I chose to sit on a bench with a guy dressed as Spider-Man holding a snake.
Also note that while I had just overcome a crippling fear of goats that came about after a tragic misreading of Three Billy Goats Gruff, I apparently had no fear of snakes AT ALL.

By the way, I always thought Three Billy Goats Gruff was the worst kid’s story. It scared me too.
Somehow, for me it kick-started a fear of goats rather than trolls. My dad actually had to take me to a petting zoo to meet some goats so I would stop putting my feet up on every chair I ever sat in to protect myself from the goats.
