Orca-pocalypse Now!

In which another surprising area of my expertise rises to the surface and tries to sink a boat. WRITTEN and ILLUSTRATED by PETER MOORE

YOU’VE PROBABLY BEEN READING about the orcas that have been bashing boat hulls off the coast of Spain.

Personally, I think those boat owners deserve it. So many stupid puns in their boat names!

I’ve been paying attention to these whale’s tales because it’s so much easier to read about menacing orcas than it is to contemplate, well, all the other mayhem in the world right now. It’s part of the reason I post here: I want all of us to have something—anything!—else to think about now!

My favorite part of orca coverage comes when the marine biologists confess that even they have no idea why the killer whales attack Spanish pleasure-craft.

They might as well ask George Costanza what he thinks.
