This reminds me of lying comic book covers. And it would have urgent looking text saying "And one will NOT walk away!" Then you flip through the comic, and the scene is more like Teela in the background filing her nails while Man-at-Arms issues a warning to Mer-Man not to bite off more than he can chew. And so he doesn't attack and swims away (instead of walking away, see?). Needless to say, Mer-Man would hardly be featured in the story at all. Also, the previous issue probably said this one was going to be called "DOOM From the Deep!", but the title has now become "Something's FISHY in Eternia!"

-----

The plan was just to do Mer-Man and Teela, but it looked a little gruesome. The decision to include Man-at-Arms came later, adding a little more drama and maybe a sliver of hope that tonight's dinner won't be Teela-kabobs. Of course, one immediately wonders why she hasn't just kicked (or done something worse to) Mer-Man's groin. I actually did worry about this briefly, even considering the addition of some kinda tentacly sea beast playing around with Teela's legs, thus adding even more peril and helping to save Mer-Man's Mer-Manhood. But that would have required more work, and I'm very, very lazy. Also, heroic warrior women in the cartoons of my day were too virtuous to go for such cheap shots. Also, since we don't really believe that Teela is actually going to die, I figure we have equal disbelief that Mer-Man's going to have his genitals gored.
