    “But shorely, it did go on.”

    hahahahahaha

    (still laughing)

    1. :) It’s good to know I can always resort to puns to make you laugh!

      1. Always. I’m a sucker for a good/terrible pun.

    2. ~ Ohhh! I See What You Did There! LOL

  2. That’s awesome! And so beautiful too!!

    1. Thanks! The ocean is just teeming with them. I figured the commenters would keep piling them on :)

      1. So, you’d say you were expecting a wave of ocean related puns in the comments?

    OMG, the word play is fabulous! Might I just say the cut paper icons on the bottom–freaking awesome!

    1. Thanks! I just figured out how to put them there! :D

  4. You’re awesome! And amazing! Awesomely amazing!!!

    1. You are too kind.

  5. I think my fav is the “sea turtle” …so awesome.

    1. I drew a sketch a few weeks ago of Ashley wearing a box as a turtle shell, and I loved it so much that I basically wrote the comic around it :)

  6. aaaaand this just made my day.

  7. have you seen the frickin’ dog chasing the crab video? seriously. for some reason your post reminded me of it. as usual, i thoroughly enjoyed. xo

    1. Hahaha, I haven’t! I’ll have to track it down now!

  8. Wow, it never occurred to me as a kid to tie oversized pant legs together to make a “mermaid tail.” Chrissy is very creative. :)

    1. What, no props to me for wearing tights on my head? ;)

    You are incredibly clever and talented. What a great way to tell this story!

    1. I was really floundering for an idea for the alt text this time.

  10. hahahah brillopads.

  11. I wish I had four sisters to play Little Mermaid with! My brothers weren’t too keen on it and I had to settle for watching it on an endless loop.

    1. Oh yeah, we were all crazy for The Little Mermaid… but not the Disney a version. A sad anime version with a mermaid named Marina who turns to sea foam at the end. Plus… she didn’t wear shells.

  12. That looks like a lot more fun than the times we had as kids playing “house”. I was always the dog.

    1. Haha! Ashley and Charlotte used to fight for who got to be the dog. I was always the mom because I was the bossiest.

      1. Now that I think about it, it seems quite odd that I, as the control freak, would usually plead for the more subservient role!

      1. I have the theme stuck in my head right now.

    1. Thanks :) We played this SO many times. I still remember all the weird make-believe games we’d play.

  13. Love it. Another brilliant post.

    1. Glad you liked it! :D

  14. I really liked your blog, it is very creative.

  15. I simply hate it when the cephalopods get up in arms. Well done. Freshly Pressed gods, where are you?

    1. Haha! I guess they heard you!

  16. This is hilarious. It too me a second to get it- but my goodness it’s hilarious!!!

    1. Thanks :) Glad you think so!

  17. I’m not as observant as many of your readers, but still in awe of your talent! Superb!

    1. :) Thanks for stopping by!

  18. Oh, brilliant! …. and those eyebrows again!

    1. A shrimp with eyebrows really cracked me up for some reason. Thinking of making a card with the shrimp on it. :)

  21. I love how you keep everyone in character right till the end.. love your work!

  22. Nice, really nice

  23. LOL. love love love! super cute.

  24. Punderful!

  25. I so love the way this was revealed to be you all dressing up — brilliant, Nicki. The red tights on the head is perfect.

    1. I thought the red tights were so convincing. I really felt like I WAS a shrimp when wore those things on my head. It was so magical.

  26. This is definitely genius. Do you have a book deal? Why don’t you have a book deal? This would be a Christmas bestseller in the blink of a little felt eye. :)

    1. Ha! Well, I think one has to have a book first… but thanks for the vote of confidence!

      1. You’re Welcome! :)

  37. You are fucking amazing I am gonna put your link on a post that literally has nothing
    but a link to your ridiculously cool shit!

    *You see I am just like everyone else :) GP

    OM

    1. Haha, thank you! I appreciate the enthusiasm!

  38. The last frame is priceless ! We did the same thing as kids…why is it whenever someone wanted to change character it would throw off the whole game; as if an extra mermaid would upset the natural order of the entire world…;)

    1. I don’t know, sort of baffling now. :)

  39. Mutiny UNDER the Bounty! Looks like only Tess is happy about the situation.

    1. :D Tess was usually blissfully unaware of tense moments until a fight erupted.

    hi like this

  42. Yes, what about all your panels in a book like the awesome Calvin and Hobbs one? Oh, the expression on that octopus! Those eyebrows really did the trick!

    1. Hopefully someday I’ll have one! Thank again for your advice, Winn :)

  43. Really liked all efforts of making those cut-outs from scrap…Good work!

    1. Thank you! It’s really fun for me, so I don’t mind taking the time!
