Was just reminded today that this comic exists. It was serialized in Nintendo Power the year I turned 11; these two (non-contiguous) pages are from issue 11 of 12.
And this is my Kaa. This is what turned me into a hypnofetishist. The way her emotions just flip like a switch in the first page, the blank, empty expression in the lower left of the second… hitting me just as puberty did… Yeah. That’s what did it.
