    When you have no animals and no way to manufacture a plow, you have to make do with what you’ve got.

    It was the find of a life time, and Jimmy the junk man was going to drag that anchor to the recycling center even if it killed him.

    He knew that finding this old anchor was more than just a fluke.

    Young Jim was a cute little wanker/who went to the beach just to “spank” ’er/ his nautical bent/ was frequently spent/ getting off on a rusty old anchor.

    Weigh anchor, it appears a little too shallow here.

    If Jimmy could figure out how to pull it off he was going to have one bad-ass piercing.

    Jimmy had always wanted a boat. He knew if the anchor was here, the boat HAD to be close!

    Jimmy, always the literalist, tries to figure out what his girlfriend meant when she told him he was just an anchor around her neck.

    all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. So far, 8 works by him have been used here (9 times, including 1 repeat). 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2019/03/29?comments=visible 

    has the prior work (my comment there has the same artist info URLs).

    Jimmy didn’t know much about the island he was marooned on, but from the looks of the hook he found there must’ve been some mighty big fish nearby.
