you are about to get Nate-ed

Must have been Nate’s prehistoric ancestor that caused the demise of megalodon!

Alpha dogs come and go. An Alpha shark now, that’s pretty impressive.

Lucky all he got was bitemarks!!!!

Good morning Crew!

Thank goodness, I was afraid the shark got part of Louie in panel two. But it’s the shark’s tongue.

Yes, sharks have a tongue, and it is referred to as a “basihyal” rather than a tongue. A shark’s tongue cannot move in the same way that a human tongue can since it is not a muscle. The bottom of a shark’s mouth contains this little thick chunk of cartilage, and it doesn’t have any taste buds or perform any functions.

Dolphins can stick their tongue out. And Nate has a bit to rival any shark in the Sea. (Or Lt. Belker from Hill Street station.)

Natenado…

chip…pulease do NOT lead the comic with louie in a shark’s mouth. bad for heart.

And what exactly is hate using to hold that shark back?cattle prod?

Thats the leash my friend. :)

Be thankful Nate is not an orca.

Ellipses are comprised of three dots, not two.

Yeah. I would NOT want to mess with Nate, either—especially when Louie’s around/involved …

’Evening, Crew.
