Anatomy of a Mermaid - Sheldon® Comic Strip

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of a Mermaid

DESCRIPTION: A curvy mermaid with bright purple hair and a teal-to-green fish tail floats in some water. She has orange starfish for a bra, and smiles wide and she reaches up to the water’s surface.

JOKES:
- Her hair defies the laws of physics, even when fully dry.
- She spends at least four hours a day sitting on a rock, hoping a Hollywood producer will paddle by.
- Dating is tricky. When she gets catfished, she REALLY gets catfished.
- Watches “Deadliest Catch” on TV and just laughs and laughs.
- Has recurring nightmares involving a giant tartar sauce dispenser.
- Two words: TIDE BREATH
- Not all mermaids are musical! (She tried to sell her voice to the sea witch, but ended up with a bucket of KFC.)
- The starfish’s linkedin posts are UNBEARABLE.
- Has never once successfully sat in a Lay-Z-Boy.
