Friends for Seagull!

Sterling. Asleep for 3 whole panels!

Buy him a case of room deodorizer to spray over his body.

“But now that I love him, my heart’s in my nose, and fish is my favorite perfume!” —Carrie Pipperidge, in Carousel, by Rogers and Hammerstein

Mom: “It’s the fire hose.”

Smelly fish aren’t FRESH fish, just how long has he been gone anyway? And Seagull has friends!

Luckily mermaids are used to that odor..!

Whoof! He’s gonna need a bigger tarp.

Good thing Spud isn’t with them. He’d have fallen off the dock by now.

I thought he was a lobster man?

His name is Mister SnowAnd an upstandin’ man is heHe comes home ev’ry night in his round-bottomed boatWith a net full of herring from the seaAn almost perfect beauAs refined as a girl could wishBut he spends so much time in his round-bottomed boatThat he can’t seem to lose the smell of fish.-From Rodgers & Hammerstein’s musical Carousel.-

Seagulls.. Mine, Mine, Mine.

Mom forgot to take the backpack off while driving to the harbor. Little guy got a bit smooshed.

I believe that’s the first time I’ve ever read the phrase “fish carcasses” in a comic strip.

He at least knows himself. It comes with the job…..

If ever a cartoon was screaming for an Old Spice Commercial, this is the one!

Seagull’s family came to visit for the holidays!

Yeah, even deodorant doesn’t stand a chance against that level of stink. :P

But hey, the seagulls love him!

And that is why on the south coast fisher folk have an outdoor shower.

Perhap a gallon of dish detergent and a sponge.

Odor Gone, at the hardware store, it eliminates the scent trails left by mice.

Fishermen never die, they just smell that way.

Sterling was old enough to go on Halloween Trick or Treat with the kids so it’s high time he was out of the carrier! Mom could just put a leash on him if she thought he’s run off….

It’s very romantic that she go wait for him to return every day.

Time for the hose!
