Keep your fins on: Shark fin soup vs human limb soup

I was asked to do a new anti-finning sketch and thought I'd do this one. I'd had this idea for an anti-sharkfin soup sketch for a while but had put it off because of the kind of morbid theme. Yes, even plastic looking limbs without even an indication of blood can make me go pale. This is why I haven't watched "Saw" or such movies. The last gory movie I watched was probably one of the Scream ones. These days, there's more focus on the gore and raunchiness than a story. It's no wonder there's so much killing and mutilation in the world. We really shouldn't be surprised at the heartlessness of it all... I just hope all of creation will one day be restored to what it is meant to be. 

I couldn't decide on the captions so I did three of them. Which one do you like the best?

Low-calorie diet? Not for us sharks!

I'm beginning to believe that about calories.

Being picky eaters, sharks wouldn't eat tasteless (aka zero or low calorie) food. Like humans.

Sharks love to photobomb!

Animals that photobomb are hilarious! Notice how the bear is mortified when it gets photobombed?... .that's how much this bear loves photos of itself.
The Shark in the first photo was just a trial sketch but the expression cracked me up so much that I had to keep it.

Comic Con India - highlights

So, I had my first Comic Con experience at the Bangalore Comic Con. It was quite interesting. It was also really exhausting.
I had one of the smallest stalls there but had the most number of friends helping me which was such a blessing. We sold books, posters, art prints, mugs, t-shirts, badges and stickers. It struck me that the whole event was more commercial than comic art related. I expected to see more individual artists being showcased but there was only a handful of those and more of the bigger/famous comic/pop culture merchandise.
Here are some of the highlights from the event. I wish I could show my friends who helped but I don't even have comic characters for most of them. The best part of the event was that there were some people who really cared about individual comics and supported them. There were some people who'd actually heard about my comic (a big thank you to everyone who shared!) and others who asked really interesting questions and seemed genuinely interested in sharks. It was worth it just to meet all these people.
As much as I love tigers, I couldn't understand why everyone was more surprised at a cartoon shark than they are about cartoon tigers. I mean, the chances of us Indians being killed by tigers are probably higher than being killed by a shark, right? The villagers in the Sundarbans would probably ask the question "But why a tiger?", huh?
I bought a shark hat on ebay which was what everyone was interested in. Even the ones who were surprised at the shark theme or didn't even notice the shark theme.
Many people didn't know about shark finning at all. I hope we could get more people to see how amazing sharks are and how rare they're becoming.
