Who is Snake?
Snake is the generic crook/robber/jailbird of the show. A friend
of both Otto and Sideshow Bob, he first appeared in 7F20 (as
Otto's guest at Bart's party). He robbed the Kwik-E-Mart six
times and has had seven run-ins with Chief Wiggum. Some notable features are the snake tattoo on his right arm, his torn jean-jacket, his hair and the bulge of the cigarette pack he keeps under his right sleeve. According to Hank Azaria (Snake's voice), he was based on a druggie at his alum, Tufts University, named Cliff Tazner, who would walk around informing people of his current drug condition ... without reason {mgk}.
