TEETH!
They (more or less) are the reason why I NEVER swim in the ocean! Come to think of it, I know for a fact that Evin won’t step foot in the ocean, either. Not so sure about Dan, but I can say I have never witnessed him step into the ocean. So, yes, the UNDERWATER adventure strip you read week after week is brought to you by three dudes who are TERRIFIED of open water.
Seriously though, when a human being steps into the ocean they re-enter the food chain, and most certainly not at the top. Man’s dominion over the earth stops at the shoreline, and Doc, Joe, and the rest of the Daredevils are about to learn that the hard way…
NEXT WEEK things go from BAD to WORSE! Set your Internet dials to BREATHLESS because from here on out the pace does not let up! In just 7 days you will witness the Deep Dive Daredevils’ UNDOING, so make sure to RSS, Like, or Follow.
A quick note: May is nearly upon us, and when I think of that month the first thing that comes to mind (other than my daughter’s birthday and my wedding anniversary) is summer blockbuster movies. After all, May is the month that STAR WARS, INDIANA JONES, THE AVENGERS, and so many other huge movies first hit the silver screen. I would never presume to add Deep Dive Daredevils to such a list, but all the same, this May we are going to deliver BLOCKBUSTER ACTION, light years beyond anything we’ve produced before. Danilo has leveled up yet again, and the pages coming in are nothing short of AMAZING! So, please spread the word! I can promise that those you clue into the Deep Dive Daredevils will not be disappointed.
As always, I implore you to hit the blog for the newest Sunday Bonus Lunch. C’mon, throw Evin a bone, why don’t ya?
Anyways, till next week!

Using music and light as bait, that is just unsportsmanlike!
I’m sure he just needs a hug anyway, I mean that thing 2 stories back with all the mouths just needed a toothbrush, and he turned out to be not a bad fellow at all.
My gut tells me the real Evil in this story is on the ship…
At first, I was like “the thing with all the mouths that just needed a toothbrush?” And, then I put it together…he means the freaking SHAMAN!
HAHAHA!
My what SHARP TEETH you have! I also noticed the ‘creature’ has a backpack?! Must be more intelligent than we think! This is sure a swell comic!
Coming from a guy with a swell comic of his own, that means a lot!
Thanks, Rich!
Rich is right, though the backpack may be one of two things..a sign these things were human at some point or a control apparatus. As for the music I’m guessing a normal chemiluminescent lure would not do so it’s probably hypersonic or psionic.
I look forward to your thoughts, TKG, and, as always, and you don’t disappoint.
Now, whether you’re on the right track or not…only time will tell.
After you gut and clean the thing, peal the skin completly off and roast whole on rotisserei over bed of coals for half the day, basting with a butter/garlic/oninon/chives mixture- serve with red potatoes, corn on the cob and/or snap peas. Apple pie with french vanilla sidecar makes the perfect dessert for these- and I would reccomend a mulled cider as well. Classic Fourth-of-July BBQ!
the Old Sgt.
Sounds good, when do we eat?
Just comming off the fire now- but better hurry, my 14 yo just muscled up to the line and he can clear the whole thing in three sittings…
Set me straight here, Sarge…
Just who are we cooking up? Because it looks to me like Joe and Doc are the ones getting served up as a meal!
D’OH!! They didn’t bring the explosive grapnel! Ummmm… hmmm… well, maybe they ought to see if the stupid thing can parley. I never tried to reason with manfish, I simply know how to cook them…
the Old Sgt.
‘Welcome to R’lyeh! We hired some Innsmouth extras for diplomats…’
I will admit to being a big H.P. Lovecraft fan…
Now, whether or not this monster has any connection to Lovecraftian mythology…time will tell.
Would a simple “Oh, Crap!” be out of line here?
Welcome aboard, crazyman!
I don’t think it would be out of line, at all. Hang on to your hat, though, because the next page will surely elicit a more colorful metaphor!
Holy mother of God he has a backpack! And arms! That is pretty terrifying, and I entirely share your feelings about the deep sea. Watched a documentary on blue whales last night, and I know they are harmless but they are ma-hoo-sive, just no interest at all in going down there.
Cup about to save Joe’s life again by the looks of things, Joe’s building up a serious debt to that dog!
Welcome aboard, Timmage!
Welp, by the time this story is said and done, you’ll have yet another reason to be terrified of the deep blue sea.
I’m glad you are digging the Daredevils! Thanks!
