Hello friends and followers, I didn't forget about it's combined with I've gotten requests for shark drawings so why not share them finally!

Happy Sorry I've been a little MIA, but I do look at them every Sunday, as I have for 2.5 years now! I wanted to add to my growing diagram of fish jaw cartoons. So today, I sketched the jaws of the magnificent tarpon (Megalops atlanticus).

Happy   I recently did some fishy outreach on ‘unique fish reproduction strategies (e.g. hermaphroditism, semelparity, mouthbrooding) and I think it’s a fitting theme for this weekend. Go eat some chocolate and sketch a fish.
