Humpbacks are nice.
Here are a couple comics for World Whale Day—which is held on the third Sunday in February.
The third Saturday of every February is World Pangolin Day. This is the 10th anniversary of the day conservationists try bring awareness about one of the most trafficked creatures in the world.
I don’t know how many of you go to Costco, or how many more of you have marveled at their rotisserie chickens, but I have. If you’re to look at them in person you almost wonder what kind of animal it actually is. Their chickens look more like roasted blue whale hearts than actual birds.
💌Happy Valentine's Day, loves!
Happy International Darwin Day!
One of these animals drops its tail in order to distract predators. The other gets its tail hacked off when it’s a tiny baby for fashion. Do you know which is which?
Superbowl Sunday is all about the ads, so I figured I'd post a couple new "Jaws" movie posters.
Whelp, it's National Fart Day. Be sure to appreciate the air biscuits around you!
It's fitting to repost my Groundhog Day comic again this year, isn't it?
Well here it is—the mystery month on the @underdonecomics wall calendar. Since we’ve reached February, I’ve lowered the price even more!
Does anybody know if QAnon takes submissions? Like, would they pay me to come up with things? I think I’d probably make up less harmful but more entertaining conspiracies that the slop they dish out.
January 30th is National Escape Day!
January 28 is (was) National Lego Day!
Mexican mole lizards are part of a group of wormy reptiles called amphisbaenians. Most of them are long legless lizards but the Mexican mole, or bipes, is one of the only members of this group that has limbs! There's only 2 legs, and feet and they're used like a mole's front limbs. They burrow their way around the Baja peninsula.
Who knew a lynx could be a food snob?
Good news, everyone! January 20th is Penguin Awareness Day!
Who knew that sea pigs (aka scotoplanes—a form of deepsea sea cucumber) are so playful and vampire squid are so serious?
On January 10, someone discovered a manatee with the word TRUMP etched in its back. Thankfully, they only carved out the letters by removing the algae that often grows on the slow-moving mammals. Just another example of how the 45th President of the United States inspires only the best out of people.
Here are a couple of dumbo octopus comics, for no reason other than I messed up the new one I was going to post today.
Look—another duck comic!
January 5 is National Bird Day!
What do you think life is like inside an impenetrable fortress of hairy oxen? With all those gurgling stomachs I'd imagine the air is quite "close."
Happy 2021! I'm happy to say reports from New Zealand are indicating that time is indeed moving on from 2020!
Let's close off Lifecycle Week and the year with the immortal jellyfish.
The third installment of Lifecycle Week explains the development of the green-banded broodsac.
The lifecycle of the American eel confused people for a really long time. They've got it down pat now.
As the cycle of the year comes to a close, let's celebrate it by looking back at some comics about lifecycles this week.
I think I said this to myself more than any other statement this whole year.
To all who celebrate: have a holly jolly Christmas this year!
Up here in the northern hemisphere, Old Man Winter has come and booped us on the butt!
Kelp hosts a huge amount of biodiversity within its green, leafy, oceanic forests.
🌟What activities would you multitask if you had 2 dozen arms?
Pro tip: even though they pretty much look the same, Southern Australia's saw sharks (which are true sharks) are different than the sawfishes (which are a kind of ray).
Sometimes fashion takes a certain amount of grit.
I propose everybody celebrate all the holidays this holiday season. Soak up all the joy like a joy-sucking sponge!
Well this was fun!
Central & South America's male water opossum, aka the yapok, are adapted pretty well for their aquatic habitat, eh?
A new one for #DecemBeakedWhale!
Happy December, everybody!
That poor hamster.
Have a fun, safe and joyous Thanksgiving everybody!
You knew I couldn't escape November without posting anything for #Dinovember, right?
Well if EVERYBODY wore aposematic colors then the aposematism would not be effective, eh?
Mom's ultimate sacrifice or is she just fed up?
You probably knew it was coming...
Quality or quantity?
It might be Friday the 13th of 2020 but it's also World Kindness Day.
Whew! 2020 is winding down. While nobody can guarantee a better year next year, I can offer you something to look forward to—this wall calendar!
Ah, the result of humanity creating decorative lifeforms.
I think there's some debate on whether or not they're even altruistic.
There are many stories about them protecting humans from sharks and helping other animals like grays from orcas.
Are any of YOU altruistic? Is that why you read these comics? For MY benefit?

Anyway, in order to keep up with the demand of producing their enormously breasted chickens while keeping their $4.99 price, Costco took matters in their own hands and started producing the beasts themselves.
A little while ago, the NYTimes exposed the conditions that the chickens live in as being nearly as monstrous as the animals they raise.
@mercyforanimals did an undercover investigation that showed the birds living in tiny cages filled with their own excrement, getting bed sores since they’re too heavy to lift their own bulk, and seeing no sunlight. Some of the chickens also grow so fast and get so heavy that their legs break!
All to keep that steady $4.99 price tag!
There is hope for these broilers (that’s what the special busty breed is called)—animal welfare organizations are trying to get companies like Costco to join the Better Chicken Commitment to raise the standard of living for our feathered friends.
If you’re into eating the birds, the best way you can help out is with your wallet. See which companies are pledging to commit to animal rights before plucking!

Today's Charles Darwin's birthday. So enjoy some old natural selection comics.
The animated comic depicts dark peppered moths having a greater chance of survival when soot from factories darkened birch trees. The dark moths became less visible for predators, so they survived by natural selection.
Did you know once, I think on Twitter, someone commented something like, "Oh, as if a moth turns into a bird!" Sigh.

The two groups of jawless fish that still swim around are the lampreys (most of which live in freshwater) and the hagfish (which you've probably seen in my older comics, especially in the fall during Hagfish Day).
Here's something odd about me: instead of just turning the poster upside-down when I finished writing & illustrating the thing, I made the hagfish "Jawless" poster upside-down from scratch. It made proofing it annoying. Here's to hoping my proofing helpers were wise and turned their phones around to edit!
This is a second wave of "Jaws"-like posters I've made. Maybe I'll post the other ones tomorrow. Would you be interested in seeing them?

Perhaps instead of, "GROSS!" you should think of something positive to say when someone breaks wind. How about, "I was getting bored of the air quality. Thank you for changing it." Any other ideas?

Now about that loris:
The Javan slow loris moves its way around the trees and vines of its forest habitat. While grooming, it coats venom all over its body that it spreads from the insides of its elbows.
This critically endangered species can be seen on cringy videos where people claim to be tickling them. The truth, however, is that the lorises are trying to reach their venom glands in order to stop their owner/abuser from torture!
Here's something less sad: (1) ask me any question. (2) After I answer all I can, I’ll pick a random questioner tomorrow and they’ll receive a free calendar! (Instagram only, please😶)

A meeting of the world's largest (emperor) and world's smallest (little blue) penguins isn't likely to happen. Emperors stick mainly around the waters off Antarctica, while the little blues, aka fairies, swim around Australia and New Zealand. But seriously, who wouldn't want to snuggle in a penguin's poofy pelvis?
So this brings up a question: which animal (besides humans, of course) would you most want to raise you? I think I'd like to be brought up by an otter family—it looks like all they do is have fun and eat seafood. Or maybe be a part of a naked mole rat society. How about you?

Even though both creatures eat marine snow, which is organic matter (like bits of body parts and poop floating and settling down in the ocean), they each forage differently.
The vampire squid swims around the ocean with its arms apart like an umbrella, collecting floating chunks of things to eat.
Meanwhile, sea pigs walk along the bottom sometimes in huge herds, slurping up the muck!

In order to mate, 97% of birds perform what's called the "cloacal kiss." That's because 97% of male birds have no penis!
Ducks, however, like the Ruddy duck in this comic, mate in the water so they need to have some penetration. A kiss won't cut the mustard—so they evolved a big corkscrew penis to work its way through their mate's twisty, cavernous vagina!
The reason I picked Mr Ruddy Duck for the comic is because it's in a group called the lake ducks, which have the biggest penises of the birds.

Here's the toughest bird around (at least in North America)—the harlequin duck. They may look pretty, but a lifetime of crashing coastal waves or tumbling rapids (not slow-pids) wreak havoc on their little duck bodies.
For comparison's sake, I broke a tiny bone in the knuckle of my little finger and had a cast around 2 fingers and my wrist! How would the harlequin duck feel about that?
Have you ever broken any bones? What did you fracture?

What better way to escort 2020 out than with a poop-eating dung beetle, eh? These extremely important insects help clear the ground of animal crap all over the world.

I’ve got to admit, I’ve been listening to Xmas music pretty much nonstop this season. It may come as a shock to many of you, but I’ve been enjoying the joy in the joyous tunes. My favorite? Hands down, now and forever: “Frosty the Snowman” ☃️
What’s yours?
Note on the comic: chanterelles are very delicious and popular mushrooms. Jack o’lantern shrooms, on the other hand, while they do glow in the dark, are poisonous and are often mistaken for chanterelles. So hopefully Hermy could whip up something good with them and not worry about how much of jerk Rudolf was being!

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 🚽
Yesterday, you probably met the sunflower seastar, which 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.

The IUCN recently named the sunflower seastar critically endangered. It's crazy to think about how fast their wasting disease has destroyed their population. Since 2013, their numbers have decreased by 99%! This is due to the seastar wasting disease—most likely caused from increasing water temperature due to climate change. The massive drop in population has left other animal populations, like sea urchins, unchecked. This creates big problems for kelp forests, which we'll look at tomorrow. Stay tuned!
🥽Special thanks to @themarinedetective for help on this one. I mean, she practically lives in the sunflower star's home! Give her a follow as she adventures in the deep, dark ocean off Vancouver Island.

It's like they've got built-in Speedos!
Female yapoks are well equipped too—they tighten up their pouches and transport their babies underwater like a submarine minivan🏊♀️
Thanks to Jason Bittell (twitter/@bittlemethis) for introducing this great critter. He's got delicious content for folks like me who want to learn about the natural world. Give him a follow!
Did you know that the recently extinct thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) is the only other marsupial known to have a pouch for males? What do you think it was there for? They definitely weren't swimmers. Any ideas??
Don't forget—spend 2021 with the @underdonecomics endangered species wall calendar! Each month has a fun fact filled comic!

Cuvier's beaked whales are the most common of all beaked whales, and they're found to be the most beached of the beakers as well.
They're also the world champs for deep diving: 2,992 m 9,816 feet) below the ocean surface, and for the longest dive (222 minutes)!
As you can see in the comic, I think they just get comfy near the warm volcanic vents the same way we stand in our showers not wanting to leave because it feels so damn good. I remember being a kid and staying in the shower until the hot water ran out. Then quick, out the door—nearly miss the bus!
Spend the whole year, including decembeakedwhale with the @underdonecomics wall calendar!

Remember last year when I tried to make #DecemBeakedWhale a thing? I don't think it ever became a thing, but, as you'll see on the last slide, I did made a cool design with orcas on it.
They're not beaked whales, but I like their style.
It's a reminder to all that those truck-sized highly-intelligent mammals need to be free in the ocean and not circling madly in a chlorinated bathtub.
🐋What's your favorite whale?
You can get this new design as a face covering or other accessory at my threadless shop! Everything's on super sale for the rest of the week.

I think it's a amazing to think about the fact that they shove so much food in their cheeks and then empty it all out about 4" away from their food bowl, buried under the sawdust.
Apparently in the wild, hamsters store food in their cheeks because they need to eat every 2 hours, but only come out to forage at night, thus keeping lots of food for daytime snacking.
How great would it be to fill up your cheek pouches to maximum capacity and then binge Schitts Creek or something?
What're your favorite couch potato snacks/shows? Is it Nailed It and pinolì (pine nuts)?
Need a way to mark all your daily snacking? Get the @underdonecomics wall calendar! Or visit the merch shop to see what's on sale. There's everything from face protectors to neck gaiters to baby clothes to adult diapers! Alright, no adult diapers but there's lots of stuff!

In total contrast to camouflage, these bright patterns help the animals survive. So there are some species that copy the dangerous ones, like the monarch (poisonous) and the viceroy (not poisonous) butterflies. There's also the yellow and black stripey bees (⚠️) and hoverflies (🙂) that I made a comic about a few weeks back.
Or was it months? Does time make sense anymore?
I know a lot of you reading this are scientists—i want to know what you do and where you're from. I'll be waiting down in the comments.
Now let's talk about time—this frightening year is almost done, so why not get a new calendar? I just made one! You should get it and flip through all the months with a different endangered species.
And while you're shopping, visit my merch store at Threadless to see what's new.

Stegodyphus lineatus, aka the desert spider, that lives in Europe and Central Asia, vomits highly nutritious food for her babies until she can't anymore. Then they eat her.
Talk about home cookin'!
What's a favorite food that your family prepared for you while you were growing up? I hope it wasn't puke! Let me know where you're from and what you've liked in the comments.

Here's a comic representing the "K" portion of the r/K selection theory. This is when parents invest lots of time into their offsprings' development. The theory states that the energy spent on rearing young comes from the fact that the likelihood of reaching adulthood is high. Common species are humans, bears, whales and eagles.
Because they're worth it.
What kind of pets do you have? Are you a r or K-type pet owner?
🗓Toss 2020 in the garbage and enjoy 2021 with the @underdonecomics Endangered Species Wall Calendar. Or buy something in the shop!

That’s the r-K theory of selection—some organisms have a lot of offspring because their life sucks and they don’t live very long—so they have a huge quantity of kids (that’s the r-selection theory).
Common creatures that are r-selectors include rabbits, crabs, mice and bacteria.
K-theory creatures include whales, Eagles, elephants and humans—we invest a lot of time and energy into our kids.
What do you think the K-strategist book should be called?
Invest in these comics! Visit the merch store or buy a 2021 calendar—it’s the perfect gift for any nerd!

The hearty goldfish, which is a kind of carp, has been bred for aquariums for more than 1000 years.
Here's a challenge: come up with at least 1 funny pet name for 3 of the goldfish featured in the comic and tag 3 friends.
I'll randomly select a participant as the winner and send them a neck gaiter with a bunch of these cartoon fishes swimming around it (check it out on threadless, you'll love it. Link in bio.)

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.

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

- 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.
