Description
I usually hear the "Give a man a fish..." saying in the political context that people should be given a hand-up, not a hand-out. But apparently, the same principle doesn't apply to giving a man a billion-dollar fishing subsidy. You can stuff yourself to the gills with that.schizmatic.com/files/net_profi...

All politicians should be required to take a class on analogies, puns, anecdotes, similes, and metaphors. Specifically when not to use them.

Absolutely. Sometimes it seems like the art of politics is basically mangling language.

Don't get me going on political analogies. Whenever I hear a politician say, "It's like..." I want to scream, "No! No metaphors! No similes for you! Just tell it how it is!" These vignettes simply don't capture the nuance required.

I know, we're getting to the point where party platforms are basically just a collection of bad analogies.

Unfortunately, the massive influx of free easy food will render all maneating sharks obese and unable to hunt. Their race will go extinct due to a deadly combination of apathy and shark diabetes. This will feed the shark eating fish, which will in die of the same causes, to be gorged on by another predator in turn. This chain reaction will continue until all life on earth is extinct.

lol, nice. Inspirational to create another strip. And I can just see the fat sharks rationalizing that floating counts as swimming.

Heh. I always think about that sort of thing in the second panel. About how fish get taken for granted a lot and few people think of the fact that a lot die in vain. Well..the same goes for practically every animal humans eat on a large scale, but it seems more abundant with fish. Know what I mean? It's sad.
But a funny strip!!!

Thankee. And the fish don't even really need to get revenge since we're already ingesting the heavy metals in their flesh which we dumped in the first place. Apex predator, indeed.
