It doesn’t count, neither one of you have a flag.

Those dirty commies.

The Lum style tiger-striped bikini suits her.

and the paying guests on board are where?

Snails?

watch out for those vicious snails!

Way more people are killed by lightning than by sharks.

Snails transmit (the parasite that causes) schistosomiasis, like mosquitoes carry malaria.

Hmm – so now we’re back to the pre-hiatus strips.

Is this arc going to be a rewrite of Gilligan’s Island?

Funny how lands always get claimed and the inhabitants don’t get a vote on it.

China claiming islands in 1982; fast forward to 2015. . .

I believe the problem is the snails form gangs.

Well, they can just get down now to populating it.

My comment was a homage.

Suddenly strangely timely.

Sorry, Duke, you snooze, you lose

@jeffiekins“mosquitoes carry malaria”.Which I contracted back in my Peoples’ Republic of Angola daysAnd West Nile Virus which Number 2 Son contracted August 2012

It’s so ironic that Duke hates sharks!

Honey looks like she has a three day growth of beard. It puts an interesting slant on her (?) relationship with Duke.

Where do I get some of those assassin bugs?

“the mosquito, responsible for killing 755,000 people every year, "

Ah, Rachel Carson, you have a lot to answer for.

Looks like a prescient comic today
