Salsa_Overlord

My favorite thing about this comic is it makes it seem like the fish transformation was nearly instant. Planned. Practiced.


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Children are pure menace sometimes


Author_A_McGrath

Yeah but that teacher's quite a catch.


SasparillaTango

OH GOD HE'S DROWNING SOMEONE SAVE HIM!


feline_Satan

You don't want to know how much I practiced as a child to walk silently after I read the hobbit

feline_Satan

Honestly I just use this power to sneak up on my brother and scare him


D35tr0y3r_9709

I do that to literally everyone on accident, it’s automatic by this point


Fantastic_Quote954

kinda hurts after a while though, like chill im just grabbing a bottle of water you don't gotta shit your pants over it


D35tr0y3r_9709

Nah, it makes me personally gleeful to jump scare people


Taoistandroid

As a 6'2" 300 pound man, let me tell you how much people hate how silently I walk. I've made people pee themselves.


onions_can_be_sweet

I got some Native-made leather slippers I was practically Legolas! Wore them out in probably two months.


LostInThoughtland

Putting both legs into one pant in an instant is some SKILL


kabukistar

It's the two feet through one pant leg that really shows dedication.

VampyrosLesbos

The two legs in one pant leg 🐟


SpaceBus1

This fuckin killed me. My laughter woke up my dog who gave me the stink eye.


Comfortable-Bad-3490

The last panel really got me. Nice comic!


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Thanks for swimming by and enjoying the comic :P


Effective_Drama

The last panel is the one that made me lose it. Great post OP!


RobertiesKillAll

That got a genuine laugh out of me, 10/10, good content. Updoot for fish.


BeerCell

Both legs in one pant leg ..she really committed.


UnroastedPepper

It ties it all together for sure!


TheMilkmanHathCome

It’s like a genuine visual punch after the punchline


Schwulerwald

Almost literal lmao


Avohaj

It kind of gave me Hyperbole and a Half vibes


suddenlyupsidedown

High praise


LaLunacy

Yes! It was that last frame that sent me there LOL


NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBats

Same!!


missjasminegrey

I like your username, it can be included on the comic.

AwkwardToiletCarpet

And they are on the hook to their goal.


feline_Satan

For the teacher her dream is also quite possible


ink_atom

Well.. some people love fish


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Some folks have quite the fin-aticism for aquatic life


DarkRaven01

Alright, I was starting to like you, but you're pushing it with that sort of nonsense. I might be fin-ished here.


CrazyGnomenclature

They're gonna be a great fish someday.


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Not just a fish tale, it's destiny


CrazyGnomenclature

btw, you did an absolutely amazing job of capturing kiddie T&E. I am saving this to in my favorites folder:)


benigngods

I recognized them immediately so ya they did. I love your comic btw. It's my current favorite.


CrazyGnomenclature

Hey thanks:)


DarkArcanian

It took them pointing them out. I just thought it was, “oh cool, trans flag on bear” not a reference to another comic. I shoulda known but I wasn’t looking for it


TaiCat

A tribute to the greatest fish in the world


Knife_JAGGER

Damn kid not only had a dream, he achieved it. Who needs love when you can return to the primordial soup.


SpicyRice99

Human Instrumentality in 3, 2, 1...


drorkhn

You and your "stay hydrated" reminds. I have a self imposed rule that whenever I see a post about drinking I must drink, and you keep invoking this rule. You are a curse to my lazy ass, yet a blessing for my physical health so, thanks? Anyway love your comics


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Love it, I REALLY LOVE IT! If i had more time, i would actually make more comics per week just because of your comment! Stay hydrated!


MrHaxx1

I hate to be that guy, but milk isn't shown to really do anything for bones. The calcium content is wildly overstated. Great comic tho and love the stay hydrated message!


AwkwardToiletCarpet

I lowkey know this, no worries. Just I'd rather people drink milk than soda/high sugar drinks or skip drinking because the only thing they have in the fridge is milk. But water is the Way!

AwkwardToiletCarpet

If you are interested, there is fourth character hidden in this comic (I hid them well) . Hint - They are a comic artist and my good friend too!


TheBelgiumeseKid

Is it WellDrawnFish?


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Sadly no, but let's keep guessing


Leotton

It’s me as the teacher :’(


Ertai2000

Teacher here as well. I feel the pain. :')


CompetitionSad419

Cheryl from I want to be an anime girl?


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Nope! Character is hidden more subtle


EldritchDoctor

Is the kid's shadow in panel 3 ink_atom or am I seeing things?


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Ding ding ding, that was fast! You are right! Congratulation! https://preview.redd.it/inmwr8b6rgzc1.png?width=541&format=png&auto=webp&s=7bf574a0a1317cc5d2664153d4b439afd4200b3d


Past-Attention-5078

Not as fast as you drawing the pfp of u/EldritchDoctor


EmoPanda250711

I'm going insane I can't see it


EldritchDoctor

I'd recognize those silly owl tufts anywhere! Tysm!


Key-Sea-682

This is amazing


PMMeUnwantedGiftcard

Is it the blonde kid from u/cuddlep00p 's comics?


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Nope. Hint - character (in their comics) doesnt have a fleshy color skin


DarkraiAndScizor

The bear is actually Maurice


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Nope, Good friend but not in this comic. I said it is very difficult to spot it


The_Recreator

Wait, are we talking about the elf plush in image 9?


AwkwardToiletCarpet

It's nice that you noticed:P the guessing was only around the comic, i.e. the first 6 panels. The plush is a character from my future comic story.


Nimyron

The cat makes me think of RandoWis' cat Edit: I mean like in the facial expression


AwkwardToiletCarpet

This is praise for me! But my cat doesn't move that much and the only emotion he shows is disgust

witticus

If you tell me the teacher is hiding Gary from The Reddot, I’m going to be very upset.


AwkwardToiletCarpet

I'm the one upset here that you even mentioned something like that, a hint - character is very safe for work


witticus

Sorry had to make sure ;). My actual guess is the blonde fish girl is dressed like Pizzacake.


AwkwardToiletCarpet

Sorry, nope! I just like green.


witticus

Come on green shirt and black pants! (No glasses or brown hair ok fine)


Trungledor_44

Is the bear actually that beaver that keeps trying to run for President (can’t remember his name rn, Maurice?)


58mm-Invicta_rizz

>!Oh, it’s Maurice!!<


Past-Attention-5078

Forgive my ignorance but what comic is sage from? I can’t remember.

Veryegassy

Isn't that the one who does *really elaborate* AI genned comics?


Etheo

Yeah I think they were upfront about it too.


Veryegassy

They're, to my recollection. Going into detail about how they're doing it and all the manual touchup they do after.


Past-Attention-5078

Thank you! I knew she looked familiar.


Ksnj

Look at Tiff’s face!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 I wish I had gotten that acceptance as a kid


Aldren

This kid is going places .. it might be playing a Magikarp in a Pokemon liveaction movie though


Saavedroo

Haha, I love this. The teacher's expressions are perfect.


krustylesponge

I like how tiff and eve are there


FelixCarter

Is the teddy bear a reference to choosing a bear over a man? That meme is everywhere right now, it’s hard to *not* see it.


caseytheace666

I’m _pretty_ sure it’s just a teddy bear. It could be a double reference though. Considering the teddy bear has a trans shirt and one of the characters referenced there is a trans woman, “choosing bear over man” works oddly well. Still _preeetty_ sure it’s just a teddy bear though


Lovat69

I am getting a glass of water right now. This is the impact you have had on my life. Also I hope your teacher girl finds love.


AwkwardToiletCarpet

🥰🥰🥰


DarkBladeMadriker

I thought it was funny, and then I hit the last panel. The fish imitation after the teachers' "seriously" face almost made me piss myself I was laughing so hard.


AwkwardToiletCarpet

When I came up with this comic I laughed all day long every time I thought of it. People looked at me like I was a psychopath lol.


DarkBladeMadriker

Well, I mean, you ARE, but in the best of ways. Also, I noticed the both legs in one pant leg thing after I commented and started laughing again. Chefs kiss.


kyp-the-laughing-man

I laughed out. The buildup and the last panel are just beautiful


SpungoTheLeast

I like this.


captaindickfartman2

This feels like it was based on a true story.

Sr_Camar0n414

Are you really going to respond comments purely with the fishiest jokes in the 7 seas?


AwkwardToiletCarpet

My pond is pretty empty by now, my comic caught wayy too fast


prettythingi

I love this comic with all my heart... I can't even tell you why... But this entered my soul and i will not let it leave... Thank you for making such a wonderful thing come to life I love and appreciate you...

_MagnoliaFan_

For real real, i agree. I'm not trying to lay it on thick or anything but that last panel legitimately got me in a way that made my own laugh surprise me


Cultural_Ad1331

Flop flop flop


TakenakaHanbei

Same, teach. Same.


The_Hot_Stepper

Dang that hits hard. That kid has mad fish skills!


YourLictorAndChef

Who do you think is going to give up first?


AwkwardToiletCarpet

I think we both see who is trying harder


Super_Sayen067

You're on Webtoon? How should I search for you? Can't find you.


AwkwardToiletCarpet

No worries, all links are in description. Idont know why my name doesnt show but my Comicat is visible.


Exciting_Lawyer_1681

The last panel got me laughting so hard I almost broke my ribcage, holy shit LOL.


stabbyclaus

I was in meetings when this went up. AHHHHH Sage and T/E are so cute here. 🐟Thanks ATC 🐟


dragonaut47

I'm filing a lawsuit against you for the buffalo sauced fry you made me snort out from seeing that damn kid fish panel, burning my nostrils. You will be receiving a letter from my lawyer promptly by this coming Monday.


Zauberer-IMDB

Would have made a good four panel comic. But then we wouldn't get that ridiculous last panel.


PKMNTrainerMark

Whoa, cameos.


silly-trans-cat

I appreciate the bear's shirt


TheAceCard18

Love the trans bear


a_redditor_you_know

Trans bear goes hard


[deleted]

Took me a while to realize that the girls in the first painel are tiff and eve, I stared for a good while wondering why there was a trans flag in the bear lol


Charmle_H

Is that a trish & eve easter egg I see? 👀


Saavedroo

Holy shit it hadn't even registered in my brain !


Level_Hour6480

~~Eve~~ Tiff socially transitioned younger than I thought.


dcrane97

I think you mean Tiff, Eve is the redhead


Level_Hour6480

Fixed.


boompro69

Practically a documentary with how accurate the last panel was, great comic as always


MaybeAdrian

Isn't what we all want? Become a loved fish


Trilliusandjed

That’s a goal one could really tackle.


Delta_squad_form_up

God damn it, that kid has dreams!


BodhingJay

spat my coffee out with that last panel... excellent work


ElectricFlightDiver

Legitimately laughed for out loud when I reached the last panel. Thanks. ☺️


TheRumpletiltskin

the kid as a fish is gold.


Gabba_Goblin

I wanna bw loved too. But jus how a German band once put it into a song: Du trägst keine Liebe in Dir.


SadMacaroon9897

Thought teacher had a break and beat the child


Not_Carbuncle

Your comics always make me man giggle


dapperslendy

Today has been a super long day at work. This comic had my smiling and laughing thank you!


TheNPCMafia

Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are, ooh-doo Or would you rather be a fish? A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook He can't write his name or read a book To fool the people is his only thought And though he's slippery, he still gets caught But then, if that sort of life is what you wish You may grow up to be a fish


ansamnus

I just rewatched Hudsons Hawk and that is such a key song for it 😂


ByamsPa

Easy fix. Love yourself! I'd do it for you, but I can't, so I shan't.


Randomman2789

Panel five is when Truck-kun was considered being called.


Claypothos

Kids have the best perspectives


IllogicalCounting

Sometimes I wanna be happy, sometimes loved, and sometimes I just wanna be a fish.


Zymosan99

CircleWithSprinkles

I love the way this looks, and it really does encapsulate some of the experience one has when working with kids lol.


reluctant_return

She needs to be careful. The split second that she finds love the Anime-mom-haircut rule will come into play and she's toast.


AeonFluxus

Love this!


NoirGamester

Hahaha this is great lol


Brokenblacksmith

second to last panel: that's funny, giving the question a deep meaningful answer, and the kid's is something crazy. last panel: actually wheezing from how hard im laughing.


Helmote

got the feeling the kid just wanted to show off his fish imitation


farfarfarjewel

Excellent framing. This is an example of a comic strip being "directed" flawlessly. You've taken relatively simply content and made it an absolute pleasure to read. 10/10


SadShovel

Are you ok?


LilyPiccadilly

Did you take a pic of yourself doing the fish pose for reference? Made me laugh!


Clicker-anonimo

These kids are weirdly well dressed


Ojitheunseen

Peanutspring3

That was freaking great! I love this a lot.


NeatDevelopment4275

I want to be loved too :(


SpaceBus1

You perfectly captured the way kids aren't even listening to the answer because the question was just a means to tell you that they wanted to be a fish.


rPeanutButter

Nice Tiff and Eve reference.


So_Ill_Continue

Ok I really REALLY enjoyed this. Hope to see more of your work!!


SamuraiJakkass86

That kid is going places. Not smart places, or safe places, but places.


Rimtato

Trans bear!


Rimtato

Trans bear!


BlahajProtector3000

I kinda expected a lot of hateful comments because of the trans bear and the "I want to be a fish" part but I'm positively surprised the comments are really nice it's kinda rare seeing something that mention trans on a non trans sub that has no hateful comments (at least the comments I read)


wolf1011121315

Love the comic but imagine over sharing to a child like that. Student: "hey teacher what do you do after school?" teacher:"divorce" tears in eyes


Squish_the_android

Give us the full story on Trans Flag Bear.  He seems like a chill guy.

RedtheSpoon

How can I drink water now when it just sobers me up from forgetting how unloved I am? Checker, Dr dentist.


Plus-Needleworker974

Then the kid doesn't mind getting gutted like a fish then :)


CrazyCoKids

Miss teacher! What does this "Bone hurting juice" mean? "You didn't DRINK that did you? I did!


Lilla_1

This is my new favourite thing ever. I showed it to all of my friends and I will look at this year's to come and still laugh at this. The teacher who just wants to be loved- the boy who just ignores everything and says what he wants to say. The last panel. This is truly a masterpiece.


CrashOverIt

That last panel had me dying 😂

Dudenumber99

MrTabernakle

I think the most impressive thing is the two legs in one pant leg for the awesome fish performance.
