Catch of the Day – Chap. 6, Act 2, Strip 6

Anybody got a measuring tape? I think the ninja that Professor Ninjaiakis caught is undersized, and should be released back into the wild. If you want to keep ninja fishing a sustainable sport, it’s important to conserve stocks by allowing ninja to reach breeding age before you catch them.

And of course they would have to wait for a really clumsy and inexperienced ninja, but everyone’s gotta start at the bottom, so it didn’t take too long. No telling, of course, how many more experienced ninja passed them by unnoticed before they mad their catch.

More on Thurs…uh, Monday!
