Close to Home by John McPherson for August 23, 2024

Everyone’s a critic. (I apologize if that seems too critical.)

I hate when that happens.

Poke him in the eyes, Larry!

No uvula to tickle on sharks !

Quick Larry! … just rub his belly and he’ll fall asleep!!

Wait, I think that’s alligators!

… you might be screwed. Larry!!

RIP Larry! at least someone had a good meal!!!

lady, you’re literally TWO STEPS AWAY. if you think bopping it on the nose is such a great idea, why don’t YOU try it instead of standing there shrieking?

Is the shark carrying Larry to shore?

Just can’t take you anywhere, can we Larry!

Its all about the Seals !

It would appear Larry has been out-bopped.

As the song said, the shark did indeed “show them pearly white.” Larry’s career as fish dentist was ill-considered.

Maybe plug his nose? He’d have to let go so he could breathe through his mouth!

You bop him on the nose. Larry’s a little busy right now.

that’s assuming you can find his nose being in his mouth… :{

Stick your hands in his gills.

Larry has good taste..

Sharks prefer Larrys that taste good.

We’re gonna need a bigger bop.

is it shark week again?!?

So this is what a fish dinner looks like.

Use your Bat Shark Repellent!

Larry, do the vertical bop (not the Bob Seger horizontal bop).

It’s hard to think of something like that when you’re in full panic attack.

That’s the last time Larry does “jazz hands.” :)

Ha! Works every time.

For sharks, everything is a see-food buffet!

Hats off to Larry!

It may sound cruel!

(heads off?)

8^)

No one in the comic has a phone in their hands. Is this old? Today everyone would get video and photos, but one thing is the same – no one helps.

Or just keep walking out of the water Larry..

Now let this be a lesson to all of us: this is what could happen if you don’t apply your Shark Repellent before going in the water!! (myself, I prefer SRF50 or higher…)

This is a case of “jumping the shark!”

Larry can’t hear you mama. His eardrum is being mangled

Quick! Someone get him a ballpeen hammer!

bop that shark, doo doo doo doo, hungry shark, doo doo doo doo

no no no folks! We have it all wrong! The shark swallowed him out in the water, realized he doesn’t like the way Larry tastes, and he’s throwing up… Larry’s gonna be okay!!
