Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for February 20, 2014

And just wait till you see all the really neat hippos and rhinos.

ROFLOL! The waters around the Cape are safer than the east coast, although there have been a few reported cases of shark attacks on the Indian Ocean side of the peninsula.

Not so! Thanks to the huge rebound in seal population, due to the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, the United States West Coast has the largest population of Great Whites.

My American brother visited us in OZ with his head full of scary nature shows. I think he was surprised that people lived normal lives just going about their business instead of cowering in fear of spiders, snakes and sharks!

What’s with Evie’s hair? It’s all weird-lookin’.

Evie: “Eeeeeek!! Oh! We’re ankle-deep! Please carry me out in your strong arms!!”………. (gag) ………… apparently Bella and Edward-channeling is to be continued….

I think it is a shark fin.

that does look like a dorsal fin sticking up.

“…They usually just go after the elderly or weak.” ;-)

There are hazards anywhere you live. You just get used to the local ones.

akin to… “that dog don’t bite.”

Time for this strip’s first cross-over? (Sherman’s awfully far from his Lagoon!!)

Last year the winner by far was:

do great white sharks have black fins?

I agree in the hair, looks as if someone forgot to draw it in so all you see is a halo.

Hang in there Evie.

Don’t forget about the Senate too.

“Attacks are really rare.” It is going to be rarer that I ever set foot in this ocean again!

We can’t poison those poor sharks!We need a much more humane way to dispose of congress………..I recommend blasting them off to space.

Don’t you think it’ll be worth it?Besides we can take it out of the money that they stole from the taxpayers.

We’d save over billions and help the enviroment by getting rid of so much toxic gasses lol.

Love the shark fin in the last panel!
