Shark Awareness

 

Sorry I'm a day late with these! It's been a while since I did a comic with the other characters and the human so it seemed rather apt. 

The Shark Podcast: Episode 3

 

Annoying people virtually is simply not the same.  As much we love our own space, this pandemic has shown us that we are indeed social beings and going without human interaction for long does crazy things to our minds. All the zoom and FaceTime calls cannot match up to ten minutes at a coffee shop in person. 

Frilly Grandpa shark

The Frilled Shark is considered by many to be a living fossil - it looks like it should be extinct and acts like it should be extinct but it's not! Because sharks are resilient that way.  Although, they just might do doo do do do doo this song to death. 

Valentine's day 2018: The Shark annoys valentiners

It's simply natural that the word "Sharks" comes after the words "I love". And it's natural to love sharks.
Valentine's day was cute when we were much younger. Then it got annoying. Now I wonder how it's still a thing. Yes, I suppose the companies that paid for all the heart designs keep it going but love really shouldn't need to be highlighted just once a year. Because then the day tends to be more important than everything else, right?
This Valentine's day, don't focus on the cards and flowers and gifts but be grateful that you have someone to call your own.
Also, love sharks.

That's armour!

I suppose the first official strip of 2017 had to include some bragging about how awesome sharks are. Then again, these other annoying creatures don't let us bask in that glory.

Resolutions and solutions

I put off making resolutions for New Year until perhaps a week or two after the initial feeling of obligation to do such things passes. Even then, I'm hoping to simply create new habits for the year. Like being less cynical, make a lot more drawings and do some new activity. Well, good luck to me!

The Shark vs Superman

I just realised that I hadn't posted this on my website yet! I had re-drawn this in colour in March 2015. It still cracks me up.

Hugging Day?

I was supposed to post this yesterday. That's how much I care about "hugging day". I can't believe they actually have a "hugging day".

When sharks fly.

Don't read too much into this. It was inspired by a poster advertising spark plugs.
Although, it would be nice to have someone to share some sharks with.

The Shark vs. Batman: Sharkham, here I come.

My apologies to all Bat-Fans out there. I'm not exactly sure why my Shark likes to pick on Superheroes. But as you can see, it's so darn easy. 

ps - I love Batman and Dracula ain't too dull either. 

Tyrant King vs Megalodumb

After watching "Jurassic World" twice, I couldn't help but draw a Tyrannosaurus Rex cartoon. It remains the king. I'll probably make this little guy a regular.

Jurasshark World!

I've been waiting for the Jurassic World movie ever since I saw a hint of it last year. I love all the previous movies and must have watched them over a dozen times. The trailer for the new one looks so amazing - even though the poor shark gets chomped. Even if it turns out to be not as good as I expect, it will still be so much fun.

The Pilottes! (and an irked Oceanic whitetip)

It's pure coincidence that this tale of love and restraining orders appears right after the Valentine's Day one. I probably need to find myself someone who will either cure me of cynicism or laugh at such things. Laughter, we'll go with the laughter.
By the way, I'm very proud of the name of the group "The Pilottes".

This is just a random comic idea inspired by those little striped fish*.

For those who are puzzled by this, please read about Pilot Fish.
*Oceanic Whitetip sharks always seem to be surrounded by Pilot fish and that's what inspired this comic.

Happy Valentine's Day 2015! Love, The Shark

Some people might even say that love hurts more. That's why there's a song titled "Love hurts" but none titled "Sharks hurt".
This is one way of making Valentine's Day a lot less annoying.

ps - In case you didn't notice, the chocolates are shark-shaped.

The dolphins must be up to something!

Have you ever heard this quote? "Keep smiling - it makes people wonder what you've been up to". Dolphins have a great defense.

ps - Sharks are so much easier to draw than dolphins!!

Superman vs Super Annoying Shark

The Shark loves to annoy Superman. The great thing about comics is that squirrels can appear out of no where and disappear when you tell them to go away.
Superman was super hard to draw! I salute those who spend a lifetime drawing him for the comics.
Superman is one of my favourite superheroes (and he's super cute too) - I suppose this is how I show my appreciation.

Nature... not really a quiet zone!

I always thought that my home town was a quiet, peaceful place compared to the city with all the traffic noise and other rackets. You could hear the birds chirping away. Then these birds (cuckoos, I think) starting screeching at 3am and continued screeching all the way until noon. It's as if they think they're roosters or something. They sound like banshees! So, for the sake of sleep, I can only sleep with my windows closed. Nature is like an alarm clock you cannot smash into quietness. 

Butter fins!

Some of us have butter fins all the time.

Her shark is worse than her bite!

Sorry if I made a bad day worse with this groaner.

The Shark's Poem

I grew up reading the poems/rhymes of Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Ogden Nash and Shel Silverstein.  I love those but I really can't appreciate many other forms of poetry. Especially the "deep" and "painful" ones.
Many years ago I wrote a poem about a shark which I thought was pretty good for a ten-year old. I've searched all over for that notebook but sadly, it is lost. And so, I attempted to write another shark poem. My poetic skills obviously haven't improved but it was fun writing this. I didn't get to do an Earth day strip this year but I mentioned it in the poem. :D

Here's a separate panel with just the poem.
