Since it’s dark, at least where I am, I figured I’d share this bioluminescent comic with you.
Oh, hi, it’s World Lizard Day.
I’m excited to share the first post in a weekly thing I’m doing.
World Elephant Day is today.
🦦Look what I made with the @elakhaalliance!
It’s International Cat Day starting…meow!
What happens when somebody discovers that marine isopods pollinate algae?

Here’s your Shark Week finale.
Stuff stuck to sharks!
Some weird deepsea sharks for your Friday night Shark Week post.
An old comic drudged up from the depths for Shark Week!
Yesterday someone asked if I ever made a comic about pelagic white tip sharks and someone else asked about lemon sharks. Well, here they are, for your Shark Week enjoyment.
As Shark Weeks swims on, let’s take a look at the huge huge megamouth.
Oh, hello, it's Shark Week. I'll just post a shark comic a day all week.
Sealed with a kiss 😘 for you—two jokes for National tell an Old Joke Day.
Some comics about birds and food. Bon appétit(mouse).
It’s World Orca Day and Shark Awareness Day, you say?
Woodpecker comic post dump!
After rereading this old comic, I think I can be every one of the characters in this one. Except, hopefully, the anemone. I have been on the giving and receiving end of the octochild’s behavior. These days I am settled into the octoparent’s eye-rolling mindset.
Here’s a word you can use every day, if you want to sound like a know-it-all!
Back from a longass road-trip—follow @underdonecomics for more!
In case you haven’t been looking at my stories, I’ve been on a trip down the best coast.

See! A new comic!
Spiders: has this ever happened to you in the shower?
World Oceans Day is on hump day this year so naturally I present to you some humpback whale comics🐋
It’s the ultimate fancy goldfish. A goldfish inside the bubble-eyes goldfish. How far can humanity manipulate nature?
Here’s something I’m going to do: a #SundayReel —this one is about two pals from way back before the dinosaurs in the Permian period. It’s a dragonfly and a dimetrodon. I’m positive that’s how they both used to look.
Here’s a dump of classic cartoons for World Environment Day—which one do you find the most devastating?
June first is both #DinosaurDay and #InternationalChildrensDay.
Get this—there's a new feature on Tenor.com (google's gif search) called Thank with Google.
May 29 is Learn about Composting Day—so check out these old comics about composters🐌
It’s been a rough week so enjoy a bit of snowy silliness.
May 22 is International Day for Biological Diversity.

Every Saturday (unless I forget) I’ll be posting a design from my “The State that I’m In” collection.
I decided to do this to regain some appreciation for the USA, which can be difficult these days. You can buy each design from my shop. A portion of the earnings will go to the @aclu_nationwide
If you want a sticker (like the one in the second slide) please contact me directly. The first 5 (US resident) commenters to say what state they’re in will get a free sticker! (Sorry, Instagram only)
This week’s post is from the place where I live—Washington State. It’s got the official Washington mammal, a marmot, lounging in a bed of rhododendrons (State flower).
Each design will have the State flag’s colors, flower and animal—I’ll usually have the State mammal, but if there’s a more iconic animal symbol, I’ll probably choose a bird or something else. (The white tailed deer is the official mammal of like half the states).
Go to the link in my bio and get the merch! Or contact me directly to get a sticky sticker!

They’re an amazing organization that’s bringing sea otters back to Oregon. Those critters were nearly hunted to extinction but have made amazing recoveries in Washington, California and BC.
They still haven’t returned to the Oregon coast and @elakhaalliance is trying to change that—and you can kelp!

It gets a new @underdonecomics comic, that’s what!
Scientists found that red seaweed, Gracilaria gracilis, gets the help of little crustaceans that attach male gametes, or spermatia to their bodies while feeding around the algae.
The gametes lack flexible flagella to propel themselves through the water—without the isopod “pollination” would be quite difficult for the seaweed.
I’m return, the little crustacean critters get food and shelter in the algae. Along with a chip on their shoulder from all the attention land pollinators get.
Scientists think this puts animal/plant(ish) relationships back hundreds of millions of years 😯
Here’s a succinct article about it, if you care:

Pterosaur sightings are on the rise! They seem to be centered in North Carolina but people claim to see them all over the US. What does this mean for cars and heads? We will only know as we get more information.
For now, all I can say is follow @underdonecomics and I’ll report more information if there is ever any hard evidence.
You also might want to follow @loneliest_ape to see more of my little sketches of Bigfoot. Not that living pterosaurs are cryptids or anything.

The chimeras, or ghost sharks are becoming my favorite of the shark-like things (elasmobranchs). You can see these particular ones (Australian ghost sharks, aka elephant fish) at the @montereybayaquarium in their amazing new deep sea section. Have you been to that place recently? It’s worth it. Plus @friendsoftheelephantseal bunk up on the beach just down the road!

I once saw a ratfish, or chimera, off the coast of Edmonds, WA. Actually it was ON the coast of Edmonds, since I was walking along a pier. Who remembers that?
I’ve never seen a 6-gill shark before, but I once got into an argument with a guy who thought sharks only came with 5 gills. I knew I was so right I just said “ok” until the dude looked it up on his phone. Back in the day we’d have to go to the library to prove the facts. Remember that?

They’ve been found to be 27’ (9m) long—but they were only discovered in the 1970s. Makes you wonder what else is down there!
There’s a lot of weird things about this shark, but what stood out to me (clearly) was that white band that pops out when it extends its jaw as it gulps its food.
There was a lot of thought that the band was bioluminescent, like so many other sharks that hunt in the gloom, but I saw a paper that says it’s not. It might just glow because of all the glowy food it eats!
This comic was requested by a reader last year during shark week and I produced it a couple days later. Any requests for sharks out there? Maybe I can make one for you. (Still trying to come up with something for the elephant ghost shark.)

So follow @underdonecomics because that's what we do during Shark Week—we look at sharks.
They're animals that need to have water flowing over their gills to breathe, so quit dumping diapers in the ocean! (Diapers of course are metaphors for all the plastic pollution—most of which is dumped by big companies who pretend to care).

The other day the US Fish & Wildlife folks who were about to declare the ivory-billed woodpecker extinct, listened to the public outcry, granting 6 more months of “life” to the GodBird.
Changing it from critically endangered to extinct would lift any protection on the animal—and of course its habitat—the deep, old hardwood forests of the US South.
You go GodBird! Do YOU think it’s extinct?

Hummingbirds are everywhere—even when you can’t see them, you can usually hear their angry squeaks. I think of them as ornery little things that can stare down the biggest jerks around.
How much is a spindrel? Well whatever the amount is, hummingbirds use spiderwebs as part of their nests. The cup-shaped nest grows along with their bean-sized eggs and chicks.

Enjoy these comics about 2 very different but dedicated dads from the wild:
1) The glass frog proves that fathers ARE indeed capable of multitasking. They can defend AND pee on their offspring.
2) African wild hunting dogs are amazing all-around dads too—they chew up their food and hack it back up for their pups to enjoy. This keeps them fed and close to the den.
Be sure to check out my Bored Panda article I put together a little while ago. It features a bunch of my best fathers in the wild comics. Google it or follow the link in my bio.

In case you’re wondering, rough-skinned newts are only dangerous if you eat their poison. And, of course, someone put one in his mouth on a dare ☠️
They get their toxin from a bacteria—coincidentally (I think) it’s the same toxin as the pufferfish that nearly killed Homer Simpson! Doh!

Surprisingly, humpbacks are a great animal recovery story. Once commercial whaling was stopped, these behemoths went from almost extinct to being a man animal of least concern on the endangered species list. Crazy! I’ve heard many of them even have jobs in New York City. But I don’t know how accurate that is.
After many accounts of rescuing people and animals from orca predation, lots of people think humpbacks are altruistic. Do you agree? Can animals be kind-hearted?

Here’s a little reminder not to go Mesozoic on your kids!
Fight-or-flight response is what happens when we are stressed out and we react to the stress as if it's going to do us harm.
We lose our connection to our frontal lobes and essentially lose our sense of self.
In other words, we're reacting the way a reptile would to a situation.
Meditation, healthy eating and exercise are some ways that can keep the reptile-mind away.
Little rugrats certainly don't need to feel the brunt of your dinosaur roars, they have enough problems maintaining mammalian minds themselves.
Follow @underdonecomics which is usually less mindfulness-based and more biologically-fun-based comics.

What’s your favorite ocean critter?
Here’s one of my favorite biodiversity stories:
Kelp hosts a huge amount of biodiversity within its green, leafy, oceanic forests.
Sea urchins like to eat the holdfasts of kelp, which is the part that connects the root to rocks or other things on the seafloor.
But what if nobody's around to eat the urchins? Then, of course, the urchins eat all the kelp. The result is the biodiversity of an area goes down the toilet 🚽
Sunflower seastars are one of the animals that dine on urchins—but there aren't many of those left. They're dying out from a wasting disease which is most likely caused by warming ocean temperatures, which of course, is most likely caused by us human people.

Follow @UnderdoneComics so (like many of the animals you're probably learning about today) it won't go extinct!
The black-footed ferret might not go extinct—there are lots of them in captivity—Just not so many in the wild. I mean, how many prairie dogs do we really need to listen to as they scream to their death—eaten by a weasel?
Mustelids (the weasels) are so much fun. I once had a common weasel visit me at a campsite. It ran all along the site, checking me out. I almost felt like it was looking for a certain orifice of mine in which to explore. I'm kind of glad it left.
What’s your favorite weasel-like critter? I’d have to go with the wolverine, even though I went to Penn State.

It’s National Piercing Day — where have you been punctured? I once stapled my thumb to see what it would be like. And I have to say it wasn’t an enjoyable sensation. That’s it.
How do you feel about animals getting pierced for science? Better or worse than stapling one’s own thumb?
10👉points to the first person to name the whale species in comic 2.
Oh and I’m also posting a penguin comic because the ice birds from Pittsburgh are out of the playoffs!

Before you go herping around for frogs and toads that hump Lithops, or stone plant succulents, I don't think you'll find any. This is purely hypothetical. You can do a search for "frog butts" on the Internet, though, and you'll find that they look a lot like lithops plants.
Then, no doubt, you'll want to have some lithops in your house. How hard could they be to take care of?
There are 2 kinds of people in this world: ones that remember to water plants and ones that might be able to keep a cactus or succulent alive. Which one are you?

Which is your favorite name for this giant salamander?
-snot otter
-lasagna lizard
-devil dog
-mud-devil
-grampus
-Allegheny alligator
-mud dog
-water dog
-spotted water gecko
-leverian water newt
-hellbender
Or give me your first name and where you live and I’ll make up one for you!
Here’s one I made up the first time I posted this: side-breathing stream slipper. See those wrinkles on the salamander’s side? Those act as gills!
It’s a true shame that these slimy creatures’ numbers are dwindling fast, due to the usual habitat loss, poaching, over harvesting and pollution. There are some efforts being made to reintroduce the river loogies back to their native ranges. We’ll see how that goes!

Even though I'm a day late for posting a new one for #StarWarts day—here it is.
Do yourself a favor and google caecilian teeth. They're beautiful!
QUESTION:
If you could use a star wars vehicle to travel in for all your daily adventures, which would it be? I'd have to go with the practical Y-Wing.
👉 Tell me the species of frog that's escaping the space worm, I mean caecilian and you get 10 points!

And it’ll be here tomorrow too—I’ll be up and running with a new comic!
If any amphibian is going to play Star Wars with their kid, it's going to be a poison dart frog. Not only does their territory look like Dagobah, many poison dart frog fathers carry their tadpoles on their backs and bring them up into the canopy where they can develop in little plant pools.
The young will eat insects that get trapped in the little pools and sometimes moms will even drop eggs for her babies to eat. Tiny canibalomelettes!
Same question for you as last year: What's your favorite Star Wars line? Mine would have to be, "And I thought these things smelled bad on the outside!"
If you have some StartWarts art that needs to have the same frame around it, let me know and I'll send it to you!

Unfortunately, I'm having technical issues, so I probably won't have a new #StarWarts comic for you all tomorrow.
Fortunately, the one I did last year was one of my favorite comics ever so I'll happily repost it.
QUESTION:
"In the midst of all the killing and skin eating somehow we forgot the love."
Who said that?
I don't want to resort to eating my own skin, so support these comics!

Here’s a look back at my collaboration with @corvidresearch:
Many people don't realize that it's not uncommon for birds like crows to leave the nest shortly before they're completely flighted. As a result, thousands of crows each year fall victim to crownapping by misguided, but well meaning people. We’ve created a comic to help keep crows in the care of their parents. Enjoy!
You can get a print of this comic (and lots of other goodies) in the @underdonecomics shop by visiting the link in this bio or go to linktr.ee/underdonecomics

Tell me, when you’re outside aren’t you always birding? Is there anybody who doesn’t listen or see a bird and acknowledge it, therefore you’re birding? Is it more complex than that?Can someone explain?
This new comic is dedicated to those busy parents of nest parasites. How overwhelming would it be to have a double clutch of chicks? I guess it might make the inevitable predation of your babies easier to swallow😬

This is a little old thing that features the two ends of the penguin spectrum: the biggest, emperor—can grow up to 22.7 to 45.4 kg (50 to 100 lb) and up to 4’!
And the smallest, little penguin—33 cm (13 in) in height and 43 cm (17 in) in length.
Who would you rather be in this situation? The snuggled or the snuggler?
Keep these comics afloat!

Video games are a gas for excitement for Production X. Ever since video games encompass a huge number of digital resources, there are particular games that require particular software or a device to operate.Nintendo, Play Boy, Xbox, as well as PlayStation are a few examples of apparatus and prerequisites that people must possess to play matches. However, one must admit, no one is actually capable of buying all these devices.
Taking these constraints in mind, this guide will explain how to play GameBoy Advance games on the PC.
What’s GBA?
It is a product belonging to the Game Boy family line, and most of us would remember it as the purple coloured console used to play a number of 32-bit video games as a kid. With the progress of video game consoles and the wide range of games offered in the current market, GBA was discontinued in 2010, since Nintendo has started manufacturing more advanced products.
How to Play GBA Games on PC? An emulator is a software or a hardware, which is installed into a computer to act in a special way.
Within PCs, an emulator makes the computer act like a different computer or device. By downloading GBA emulator on the PC, while playing with the game, the computer will act as though it is a GameBoy Advance and thus, will encourage GBA games or ROMs.
Many emulators are available which can be downloaded in the PC to play GBA games. An individual can find Game Boy Advance emulators on site.
Make certain to confirm the kind or type of applications before downloading, depending on the hardware and software ability of your PC. Click the Download button and the emulator will start downloading. Once the emulator was downloaded, click Run to start the setup installation. Following the emulator was installed, activate the software. The application of the emulator may also be observed on the background of their PC. To start any GBA game, one wants to click on the emulator software to trigger it.
Step 2 — Download GBA ROMs
ROMs are used to store data within a computer device. GBA ROMs are essentially like a software bundle of the entire game which can be played on almost any PC, given that a GBA Emulator is currently downloaded within the computer.
One can simply find GameBoy Advance ROMs on Website. It’s a website where ROMs could be downloaded of several consoles over the PC in order that games of those particular consoles could be performed directly on the computer. Since GBA games are widely in demand even now, the ROM can be easily downloaded from the mentioned web site.
ROMs can even be found on Website along with a lot of other matches of GBA. It’s one of the most well-known and trusted website for downloading the ROMs and GBA games. In addition to GBA games, an individual can also find a variety of games, which initially belong to other consoles. The games and ROM can be downloaded free of charge, with no risk of virus or malware.
Downloading GBA ROMs
- Visit Roms-Download and then Choose the game from a huge variety of catalogues inside the website.
- While selecting the match, be sure to check the score as well as the amount of downloads of the particular game. This gives an idea about the authentication and even prevalence of the game.
- Choose the game and then click on the Download button.
- The ROM will start downloading, and once it’s done, click Run to install the game on your PC.
- When the game was downloaded, first click the emulator to trigger the software and then open the game.
Conclusion

Just a few easy and simple steps and you can get into the world of the ideal video games on the PC itself.
