Land Shark

a rocky asteroid in deep space. astronauts have landed and are reading an engraved sign on a boulder. the plain behind them is littered with smaller boulders, rocks, pebbles, scree. one astronaut holds up a device to the sign, and says, "wait, ok, i've got it. it says, 'beware...land...shark.'" a triangle that could be a rock but isn't is cuttin across the surface of the ground towards them.

Underwater Hotel

big deep blue ocean. a humongous fish or shark drifts along with its toothy mouth wide open. two tiny fish swim towards it. one says, "it's been a long trip and i'm tired. let's just stay at the first place that's open." the other fish swims into the maw, saying, "How about here?"

Run Rabbit!

Scene: office at the greyhound racetrack. a sleazy guy in a suit holds out a pen and a contract, smiling. the rabbit looks at the contract and says, "Well, the pay is great, so i guess i'm in. But why did the last rabbit quit?" in a window behind the rabbit you see the stadium, the racetrack, and, - pressing its nose against the window - a fierce muzzed greyhound, staring at the rabbit.

Shark Half-Fortnight draws to a close: Speaking of Bait....

We close out the Shark Half-Fortnight by easing up a little on our shark addiction, and looking at shark's pelagic pal, the Octopus!  or in this case, the Octopus and the Hero - a tale worthy of Chaucer, perchance?

Shark Half Fortnight: underwater SMS texting


a scuba diver hovers in the ocean, fins slowly paddling, as she uses her waterproof phone to text a friend. Behind her a shark is opening huge jaws to engulf her. Her friend texts, "Look out! Shark!" and she responds, "LOL, right!"

Shark Half Fortnight: Tragedy Strikes at the Linnaean Society Picnic

The Linneaean Society of London is a learned society dedicated to Taxonomy, the correct naming of all species.
Members of the Linnaean Society - scientific naming of all species by taxonomy - are picnicking at the beach. The members of the Linnaean society leap to their feet yelling at a swimmer, "Look out! Carcharodon Carcharias!" and the swimmer shouts back, "What?" as a shark sneaks up behind him.

Merry Christmas

Squash the Dog is spooning black powder into a paper tube. "How much gunpowder goes into a christmas cracker?" Señor Banana is sucking on a candy cane while replacing bulbs in an old string of christmas lights, which is plugged in. Bok Choi is pouring scotch into a saucepan over an open flame, while humming "tum tum figgy pudding" -- in the last frame all three are black frizzy lumps waving happily, "Have a safe Christmas!"
