Why are all the Jeff characters in this strip jerks? Have I offended you in some way? Am I a jerk to you? Is that what you think I am? I’m a clown? I make you laugh? I’m funny? Funny how?
(oops! Sorry, I went all Joe Peace there for a second)

“…I will make you Fishers of Men…” so that you may tease them with promises, then yank them out of their environment and watch them flop themselves to death while you laugh at them, and then you may eat them after many seasons (much seasoning) lest they taste fishy. But do not eat of the fish that live in their own toilet and eat of their own excrement, for they are an abomination. Nor may you eat of those fish that are raised separately (farmed) and are given growth hormones and antibiotics, for they are likewise an abomination. And if you eat of these you shall become as wayward children in your old age and will be put away as anethema (mercury poisoning => dementia).
I was watching a documentary on the history of the English language recently and it actually covered this. =P
In case anyone’s curious, it’s basically from like the 1300’s or so when France conquered England (happened pretty often for awhile, England was like a revolving door of conqueror of the week) and the basic, uncooked foods kept their English names, but since the nobility were French, the cooked, fancy meals used the French terms instead, then they later got anglicized so they followed English rules and then they messed with the stuff again later because English wasn’t consistently written the same way and there was no correlation between how it was spoken and how it was spelled so they redid that a few times in a row with different groups claiming to be the “correct, pure English” and now it’s just a total drunken mess in general.
Who are you envisioning doing the voice of each bug for the animated series? (Don’t worry. The original cartoonist does not do any drawing for the animations). Just so I can start hearing those voices and the eventual animation will not be a big shock.
Fish think they’re all that, but really, they’re just crappie. #pun #fishingforcompliments
Fish are all wet.
Well, for anyone that has read the Oxford Dictionary of Underwater Life, you should already know, there’s no such thing as a fish. #QI
I’ve always held that fish are merely mobile vegetables…
Give a man a fish and you will feed him a day. Give him a fishing rod and he will not see his wife again.
Give a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
This is a good one 🙂
Thanks!

Have you checked yourself for gills?
You mean Joe Pesci?
“Pesci” is Italian for fish.
Maybe he is related to Mr Limpet?
I wrote Pesci very carefully, but my stupid autocorrect thought it knew better than I!
Haha! Sorry, man. “Jeff” is just a good go-to name.
That’s what my mom & dad told me… But then I wondered about my 3 older brothers NOT named Jeff.
What a bunch of losers!
This one is laugh out loud. It made me shoot milk out my nose.
Awesome!
XD
Adam’s strips followed by you guys in the comments always crack me up…
I know, right? It’d be hard to draw this strip if I knew there’d be no comments.

That got intense.
I’d love to see this in color!
I think panel 4 is the new darkest panel other than panel 3 in get witch quick
There’s always a Jeff.
Yeah, the crab I had the other day had such a fake Jamaican accent.
This one could stand alone on the first panel alone. But then there’s more. Nice one.
Thanks!

Panel 3: after all, we don’t go specifying the species of mammals or avians we eat.

I could go for a can of Pesci Cola right about now.
