Welcome to the Selkie 2015 Hiatus, featuring several strips of Guest Comics and drawings! With many thanks to Isabelle, we’re kicking off with some Dad Jokes!
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Common now Selkie, you’re more than capable of making yourself a sandwich!
Hi capable I’m dad.
But Selkie can’t eat bread! It’s made from plants!
Meat sandwich! Two tuna steaks with layers of bacon between them?
Sure. Kentucky Fried used to (I think it’s been discontinued) make something called a Double Down. Bacon and cheese in between two chicken breasts.

I remember that it came with cheese as well. Perfectly for clogging those useless artires. Who needs a heart too began with?
KFC Double Down
A slice of meatloaf between two slices of meatloaf?
I frequently use two slices of cheese as “bread” and put the meat slices between them, which should be Selkie-safe. 🙂
She can’t eat vegetables and I don’t think she can eat fruit, but I don’t know about grains.
I think she’s able to eat at least a little bit more than just pure meat. For example I bet she could eat nori (dried seaweed)
The worst jokes to pull on a hungry child.
The worst thing to try with a very hungry kid.
This is the single greatest comic I have ever seen.
I must now someday become a dad, that I might pass these phrases on to my offspring.
The best thing about being a dad: dad jokes.
Dean;
I don’t even!! Me Da’ was Just like that. All day Saturday and Sunday long. Interspersed with Tom Leher songs, or filk songs, pestered by puns, and 20 minute shaggy dog stories: “you wouldn’t send a knight out on a dog like this?” and worse.
We uncles get into the act. My niece gets the joy of Weird Al, They Might Be Giants, and puns puns puns! whenever she’s around me.
Aunts and older cousins have been known to get into the act around my family, as well.
My parents introduced me to Tom Lehrer at a worryingly young age. Rather than puns, their preference was references (“Back in bowl! Back in bowl!” “Oh no, it’s K-K-K-Ken c-c-c-coming to k-k-k-kill me!” “Donde esta el bathroomo? You know, the roomo de batho?”) that I’m only now starting to get.
ham stakes for bread and an assortment of %100 animal product luncheon meats for the filling
You’re just like Theo Todd <_<
I think it might be in Todd’s best interests to remember he is dealing with a hungry carnivore. And after those jokes, any reasonable jury would rule it self-defense.
That’s gona be me when my kid starts talking. I’m already waiting on the edge of my seat for those setups to be able to let loose the worst jokes in the world.
This happened to us — my sister’s friend came to play one day, and told my dad her name was Esmeralda. He played along, using the name as often as possible. Just before she left that evening, she confessed that she wasn’t Esmeralda. “My name is really Susan.”
“Really Susan — what a nice name! Well, I’m glad you came to visit, Really. Come back again soon!” She howled in protest, but quickly changed and played along with the game.
When he died, almost thirty years later, the sympathy card was from “Really and family.”
Ahhh dad jokes.. such a classic.
Ahh dad jokes.. such a classic.
Well, Selkie *is* kinda seafood—well, fresh-water seafood, I guess…
Sorry Selkie but you walked right into that one.
I really like the artwork here, especially they way Selkie looks.
IT BURNS!
I HAVE INTERNAL 3RD DEGREE BURNS!
Todd in this comic reminds me of my Dad. He made that last joke quite a few times when I was a kid. XD
