Shark Week 2014: Lark Week, Shark Week!

I'm not sure if "Shark Week" is airing here this year (need to turn on the actual TV and check) but I still can't resist celebrating with the rest of the World. 

I can hear some annoying birds chirping away like crazy and I can't help but wish they'd get eaten by something!

ps - Yet again realise that I cannot draw birds!! 

Hornbill if you love Sharks!

I wanted to draw cartoons with some of the endangered and/or interesting animals found in India and the Great Indian Hornbill was one of them. I was lucky enough to see one in flight recently and they are magnificent.

Sharks' public image: Parakeets bite too! (aka "Improve the public!")

It's probably easier to get the sharks to behave like goldfish than to get the general public to improve. I saw this very funny comic about animals' New Year resolutions and the part about sharks improving their public image inspired me to draw a strip about various attempts at doing so. But while musing on this strip, I was like "um, it's the public that needs improving". So, while this strip probably does nothing to improve sharks' public image, it does point out that parakeets bite too. I love that line... especially after google search results showed me these links. Biting Parakeets and How to stop a parakeet from biting.
