Anatomy of a Kraken - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of a Kraken

DESCRIPTION: a large humanoid-creature with tentacles at the mouth, a lobster claws for one hand and a clawed-hand for the other, a squid-like head shape with large white eyes emerges from water, splashing water up, tossing a fishing boat. He is red speckled with a lighter belly.

JOKES:
- Voted “Most Likely to disrupt global shipping” three years running.
- Ironically: Allergic to shellfish
- He’s a sucker for drama. (And has suckers for drama!)
- His bladder is the reason it’s a saltwater ocean.
- Tries to time the chorus of “Mrs. Sandman, Bring me a dream” to navy sonar pings.
- Has the ultimate dad joke: “It looks ABYSMAL outside”
- Tried exfoliating with coral… his butt is still covered in barnacles.
- The type who SAYS he’s “five minutes away” when he hasn’t even left the Mariana Trench.
