Here Are Our 30 Best Comics That Depict The Snarky Conversations Between Sharks And Other Aquatic Life
The Life of Sharks is a webcomic that features real facts about sharks along with witty humor—created by Christian Talbot (the writer) and Sophie Hodge (the illustrator).
Mostly our animal comics are about the minutiae of everyday life, relationships, and emotions. We thought it would be funny to put those things into the mouths of fish that are perceived to be cold-hearted killers. Also, sharks can’t claim royalties. The more I learn about Sharks, the weirder, and more appealing, we find them. A lot of marine biologists follow our funny comics now, and they appreciate the niche jokes about plankton.
Our creative ideas come from all over the place. It could be a phrase I hear or a news story or something that’s happened to me that she can thinly veil as happening to a funny animal. Sophie will often send me a random situation for me to write a cartoon about. I get my best ideas while I’m vacuuming the house or when Sophie texts me to say she’s run out of stuff to draw and to please try and be funny. I use Wikipedia to confirm (or deny) the things I THINK I know about sharks.
It all started with me writing little dialogues between these talking animals on my Facebook page as a way to do sketches. I wanted to show that I could write something like that as well as the stand-up routines I’d generally do. They were quite popular with some of my comedian friends, and they encouraged me to have them done as webcomics. I can’t draw, so I was delighted when I found out that not only could Sophie draw them, but she also was able to add her unique style to the whole thing. They’re funnier because of the way she draws them.
You can find our hilarious comics on the respective social media links down below. Also, we’ve recently published a collection of our comics in a book consisting of our very best Shark comics. Check it out sometime! And for now—enjoy the toons.

Is there an actual meaning or reference to this? Other than a quirky shark? If so could someone explain this to me please? I don't get it ;-; It's really cute and funny though.

It's from a commercial for epilepsy actually. When they first started learning about causes and where in the brain was affected. Here's a link for the commercial. https://youtu.be/8uUvWmXUodE

That's fear in a nutshell, you fear something that is not going to happen to you, and you don't fear something else until you are attacked by it.
Night Owl 5 years ago (edited)
You learn to live with the fear of the danger that you're confronted with almost daily or monthly (car accidents, household accidents, heart attacks, diabetes, ...). You get used to it. But you are afraid of the unknown and the unusual. For the fear of sharks I blame "Jaws" too. The sharks there look more scary than real ones (have bigger jaws, more and bigger teeth etc.) and don't really behave like real sharks and it's highly manipulative against sharks. Many people don't know anything about sharks except through that movie and that they're scary and the older generation gave that fear to the following generations who gave it to the following generations and so on

Actually, on the subject of sharks' snoots... did you know that holding a shark's nose and tipping it upside-down will render it immobile through a thing called tonic immobility? Still not a good idea to do though just because it'll harm the shark and if it goes wrong could be resulted in getting eaten lol

Also, some octopuses actually attack and eat sharks. I forget which aquarium found their sharks dead, and ended up putting a trail cam up to see why (they thought it was a human.) They saw the octopus in the tank ambush, turn the shark over, and eat part of it.

Fun fact: These are probably females. The males might also be there... attached to the female as a pair of gonads. In the deep sea, meeting a mate is difficult, so angler fish make the most of it. The tiny male attaches itself to the huge females, dissolves the skin where they contact, and they basically become one organism. Nature's weird.

While there are freshwater sharks, normal sharks will go insane, it's the best word for it, if they stay in freshwater to long. Jaws is based on a true story of a shark that swam up a small river on the east coast of the USA, in the late 1800's. It became super agressave and killed several people before it was killed.

Sharks aren't as dangerous as people make them out to be. They mostly just ignore people.

usually when they "attack" humans, it's because they mistake them for seals or other prey.
