I believe Lying called dibs already....

[HalfTangible]

Uh, no? Why would you think that?

The annoyed face?... Which was probably for the annoyance at the other post now that I think about it

[Rae Artemi]

... Actually making a comic, and I just thought about something. Why are the pervsharks a lighter shade of pink on the top then they are on the bottom? I mean, there is an actual evolutionary reason for fish to be darker on top, and now it's bugging me.

I'm assuming that reason was camouflage, something sharks barely need to be efficient killers anyway...

Perv sharks need to make themselves as noticeable as possible to attract perv sharks that don't already have mates.

If you ever tried to paint a model airplane, you would know this already

The original approach to making a combat aircraft hard to spot is still used today in most military hardware: camouflage. Even some of the very first combat aircraft, flown during the first World War, were painted in tones that mimicked the terrain under them. This usually meant blobs of black, white, and shades of brown, green, and/or blue. The underside of the fuselage, wings, and tail, however, were painted in tones that mimicked the sky: light blue, light grey, or white. The thought is that, when seen from above, the aircraft would be camouflaged into the terrain around it, and when seen from below, it would look like a part of the sky. The same idea has evolved its way onto many birds, fish, and marine mammals: Their backs/tops are dark grey, making them hard to pick out when seen from above (under them being the dark ocean), and their bellies/bottoms are white, making them hard to pick out when picked from below (above them being the sun and the bright sky).

... That is what I meant. They are lighter on the top and darker on the bottom, the opposite of the logical camouflage that fish, including real sharks, evolve with.

Oooops....

Perhaps they die a lot?

Oh, be quiet Joe.

Edit: And anyway, I'd think Pervsharks wouldn't care if another pervshark already has a mate.

[GrlumpTheElder]

True dat...

Unlikely to be the most monogamous creature in existence now, are they...

True but even a shark can only be pregnant with one litter at a time

Heh, for all you know, that could be untrue for pervsharks. I mean, they're magical talking sharks, so...

(...And I think you just answered your previous question, didn't you ? )

(I wonder, for the meme sake, if discussing biology of joke ABR character counts as dragging real life physics in a D&d story ?
Because theres a random kill to be made if yes.)

It's politics and religion we can't discuss.

Man, I bet you're responsible for a whole bunch of dead catgirls, not knowing about the real rules.

[Mina Kobold]

Someone with an LGBTitP tag in their signature should know that. At least about the skirts.

I know about both and I don't have one!

I really should have one, though.

I should also make a comic, but Legend of Zelda.

[HalfTangible]

Man, I bet you're responsible for a whole bunch of dead catgirls, not knowing about the real rules.

I read the forum rules.

[Rae Artemi]

I read the forum rules.

You fool! The forum rules aren't the real rules. Oh, the poor, poor catgirls.

I'm always annoyed at everyone, sweetheart. Why just the other day I was annoyed at this little boy. Good times.

[Rae Artemi]

Huh... I actually made a comic instead of just saying I would. It feels weird.

inorite ?

[Darklord Bright]

Lazy but fun comic response'd.

[Rae Artemi]

Huh, that was one of the responses I planned for.

[Rae Artemi]

Huh. Two in one night. And I realize that the hair in face thing may have been a little out of character, but I really didn't want to have to make her taking off that shark suit.

[Nageto004]

Brighty, your image went broked.

[HalfTangible]

I'll do posing for my comic tonight.
