... Whooo if by Sea

Dear Barnacles,

I'm writing you from the friendly skies over Lakey Lake. I'm about to make my descent into the sea to investigate an aquatic anomaly. I'm sure all will go swimmingly. What could possibly go wrong? Nothing, that's what.

- Scuba Owl

Whomp if by Land...

Dear Barnacles,

The action is really starting to pick up here in Lakey Lake. Something fishy is going on and I'm about to sniff it out...

Reader Mail + Star Whales

Dear Barnacles,

The next chapter in my riveting adventure is still being worked on and thus will not be posted until next week. But I have received more reader mail (again, names have been changed to protect the idiotic):

Scuba, why do you keep sweating Shelly? She's not real. - "Hasty Harry"

You just don't know her well enough. I assure you, she's one of the most down-to-earth crustaceans I've ever met.

Dear Scuba Owl, don't you realize that Shelly is just a shell with some lips painted on? - "Archie B."

We here at ScubaCorp. do not tolerate the objectification of females. Shelly is more than just a pretty face.

Dude! Shelly is an inanimate object! - "Don Francisco"

Look, if you want to go flailing around like a telenovela that's up to you. Shelly should not be criticized for her more subtle/less animated manner of expressing emotion.

Now, to cleanse your palate of today's below-average reader submissions I'd like to share an oldie but goodie. Recently I received a request for more content relating to certain wars that happened quite a while ago in a neighborhood far, far away. I've also been asked how Whomper and I first met. So let's kill two birds (we need a better saying, people) with one stone:

Reader Mail

Time for some more reader mail (note: At the request of the several readers, names will now be changed to protect the anonymity and dignity of our readers):

In regards to the last strip, how would a plastic container sink to the bottom of the ocean instead of floating on the surface? As far as I'm concerned, you've lost whatever credibility you may have had. - Some Wiseguy

You are correct; my story is incredible. And before I forget... note to self: apparently that outtake of me poking holes in a container with a screwdriver would have made for riveting theater. Next question:

So Whomper is a beached whale, right? Shouldn't he be dead by now? - Mr. Smartypants

Ummm, I'm guessing you're referring to harmful UV rays? Let me assure you that Whomper's skin is quite the marvel, able to repel the strongest of attacks, as demonstrated in this schematic:

That's all for now. And stay tuned later this week for the next chapter in my epic saga: "Whomp if by Land..."

Silence of the Clam

Dear Barnacles,

Some googley-eyed analytics have revealed that some (or at least one) of you are seeking methods for successfully attracting members of the feminine persuasion. Being the altruist that I am I have decided to share some of my time-tested techniques with you whilst continuing my epic saga. Click and learn, Gents.

Answers and Updates

Hey guys,

This arrow will be accurate
for like three days.

Its me, the drawriter. Gotta be quick (Scuba was TICKED the last time I snuck into his blog.) I apologize for the low quantity of new content published this week. However, you'll be happy to know that we now have a fully functional strips page! See? Its right over there.

This means that from now on when you click a link from this blog it will go directly to the strip in question. What a concept. And of course, you're be able to peruse all Scuba Owl strips in one place without having to tediously scour past blog posts.

See you next week with the exciting next chapter in the Scuba Owl story!
