Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for July 29, 2022

Would you like to start with an appetizer?

Fresh sea food.

With chips and salad?

Rumour is that Ninja Sloth hiding behind one of those dark patches in background and will saves the day at the right moment.

Medium-rare, please. (I like them bloody)

Uh oh. I think he’s pointing at you.

“I’ll have the Nibbler Plate.”

MMMmmm appetizers

“Would you like to order off the menu or join our all-you-can-eat frenzy?”

Don’t you have any legs with more than three toes?

“Is this all I have to select from?”

And how would you like your legs tonight,sir? Medium,rare or well-done? The pair of legs on the left looks like they’ve been out in the sun for too long.

“You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe

Scarlet billows start to spread."

I’m sympathetic to people who get attacked by sharks…but you ARE in their home; swimming in the ocean puts you on their menu

Gives new meaning to “take out” food.

How would you like the toes cooked sir? Grilled, or braised?

Very clever

Yes, just say it. “I’ll have the Pigs’ feet please.”(assuming American waters)

I’m a leg man myself.

I recently heard a famous Aussie chef say on a cooking show that he never eats shark because he’s a surfer and feels it would create bad karma to do so.

I’ll have the middle one with the toe fungus.

How is what this strip shows worse than people going to a restaurant, pointing to a live lobster in an aquarium and saying “I want you to boil this one for me while it’s still alive”?

It’s shark week!

The first one looks nicely done.
