I once put a betta in with two goldfish because I thought it was only other BETTAS they can’t be around.
Turns out, the goldfish were the jerks. They were bigger, faster, and kept body-slamming the poor thing. I had to run him back to the store before he got battered.
ALSO, as a reminder, this week I am updating Monday Wednesday AND Friday on a trial basis. Been feeling the urge to push myself a little.
And, in other Happy News… I got accepted to a grad school for sequential art! Still working out the details, but in just a few short months, pending said details, I will be moving to Savannah, Georgia to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design. 😀 Beware the yankee!
If you can't quite make out the words on the poster, it says Cypress Miller. She is an in-universe kid's entertainment star. TV, Songs, etc.
Miley Cyrus parody in the last panel. 😀
“Cyprus Miller” …
As with many other things, I(and many others too, I’m sure) see what you did there.
Interesting to see another bit of proof of how despite not being like any other girl, she’s just like any other girl.
Georgia is full of Yankees, you’ll blend right in. :p
he’s been there three minuites and his foot’s in his mouth.
… I thought you turned Cypress Hill into a teeny bopper singer!
For a second there I read that as Cyprus Mill and saw the band made up of Miley Cyprus clones. It was a good second.
There are more Yankees in the South than you know. I’m in TN, and like, NOBODY in my city is from here. 😐
CONGRATS on attending Savannah College of Art and Design! Best of luck to you Dave. Strut your stuffs! 🙂
Also, gold fish are cold water fish, while betta fish are tropical fish. They shouldn’t be kept in the same tank because they need the water at completely different temperatures. (But I love that you drew Selkie’s betta in something approaching a real tank that looks like it might even have filtration, rather than in a tiny bowl.)
You can actually keep gold fish in warm water tanks as long as they don’t get too hot.
I see bettas in room-temp containers at the pet store all the time — not to mention the one at the school which is also in an un-heated tank. They may do better with warmer water, but they surely aren’t marketed as needing such…
Sadly, yes, but they live half as long or less in cold water tanks. The stores also have about 50 tropical fish crammed in a 10 gallon tank, but that is also not a good husbandry practice.
Just a FYI, betta fish can easily be community fish if you know what you are doing.
The tank has to be big enough for lots of room and the fish cannot be the same size, shape or color as the betta. Also you don’t want any fish that might chew on fins or otherwise harass other tank mates.
I have a single betta in a 50 gallon tank with several other fish and they get along fine. According to what I’ve read you could even have more if there’s enough space in the tank for “territory” between the fish.
I can confirm this.
This I can agree with. As long as your betta has nothing to kill or nothing that would kill it, you are fine. We keep ours with a bristlenose pleco and a trio of anglicus loaches, and they are happy and healthy as a clam.
So you are in at SCAD? I’ve toured some parts of the campus. Joe England of ZebraGirl is a graduate. What sort of grad major?
Sequential Art MA. Will be taking a few conditional courses in Visual Storytelling and Backgrounds/Props as well.
Hey! Long time reader, first time writing- I can’t believe you are going to be coming to SCAD! Because… well… I GO TO SCAD! Talk about an awesome coincidence. SCAD is an amazing school, and you will learn so so so much! See you when you get here I guess. ;D The best of luck!!!
Sweet! 😀
How many credit hrs does the Seq.Art MA require (30 sem hr?). Full time or part time?
Congrats on getting into SCAD! I’m finishing up my master’s as well (history) and applying to PhD programs, so I’m totally feeling that application stress. Good luck in Georgia!
Ah, Georgie. He’ll learn, and unfortunately Selkie needs to learn to deal with this kind of bigotry too. She knows he didn’t mean to hurt her, but it’s still a betrayal.
Many congratulations on your acceptance to SCAD!
I don’t see it as being a bigot. Reality is Selkie isn’t human, but we don’t know what she is. He assumed she was some sort of fish. If she knew, they should should correct him.
That’s like being offended when someone say’s you’re black when you are black. It’s a statement.
As a matter of fact, he didn’t even call her a fish, he said, “like a fish”. Which could imply something different.
