This book is a humorous collection of seventy single-frame cartoons depicting sea creatures that represent the variety of people we meet in various situations in every day life. The sole purpose of this collection is to put a smile on the reader's face, and perhaps remind them that the pitfalls in life should be met with an appreciation for irony, because just as things can go wrong in an instant, so can they get better just as quickly. It is hoped that these characters will be enjoyed by children as well as adults, and may inspire young artists to depict their world view in art as well.
