The critters don’t like him. Cute turtle.

He’s just an intern and doesn’t know if ruling the seas is too big a job for him. His dad said, “Triton for size.”

Those two had better not sell sea shells by the seaside. They’re liable to get cited for indecent exposure.

there is gonna be s “fish fry” in the future…!

They’re green with envy.

Neptune’s methods are always trident true.

Neptune’s father was Saturn. Just putting that piece of trivia out there. Saturn, having just taken the Ruler-Of-The-Universe job from his own father, thought that one day his children would conspire to overthrow him. So… Saturn ate his two of his children, including Neptune. Long story short…Saturn got an upset stomach and barfed up the kids. You can imagine there was considerable enmity between father and son. Now that I think of it, that’s not a very good Father’s Day story.

there’s definitely something fishy about how he got that job…

Pretty much how most royalty got their jobs.
