Sharks are the pariahs of the ocean and creatures that usually inspire fear, screams, and throngs of running hoards. However, there’s probably far more that goes on in the mind of a shark than we can ever determine. While movies like Jaws show the scarier side of these predatory beasts of the sea, writer and comedian Christian Talbot likes to imagine the more profound exchanges likely shared by these cartilaginous aqua-animals, informed by basic facts about sharks. With funny illustrations by Sophie Hodge, these comics show us the lighter (and unseen) dialogues between these underwater elasmobranch, all of which are bound to make you laugh and think.
