MISUNDERSTOOD SHARK FRIENDS DON ’ T EAT FRIENDS!
“Bob!”
“You look different.”
“Where ya

“You know perfectly well where I’ve been!”
No, Bob. Your intro is, ‘Hello, people! Today, on Underwater World with Bob . . . ’
Bob’s going off-script!
BOB NEVER GOES OFF-SCRIPT!

“You ATE me, Shark! In our last episode, I defended you to the people, and you ATE ME!”

I was just . . . ”

“Giving you a tour!”
7
“I don’t believe you, Shark!”
8
Think of your show, Bob!
“My show?”
“Fine. Fun Fact about bones— ”
9
“Heyyy . . . you don’t HAVE any bones in your body. Shark skeletons are made of cartilage!”
Cartilage? The squishy stuff in a human nose?
You mean, BOOGERS?

“We all know you ate me, Shark!”
“IF I ate you . . . where’s your proof?”
12
“Hang on. I don’t feel so good.”
13
Did Shark just . . . ?
14
“AHEM!”
“I hate when that happens!”
WHAT did we just see?!
15
“Gross Fact about that! It’s called gastric eversion. When a shark swallows an object HE can’t digest— like glasses when HE EATS SOMEONE!— ”
“The shark expels his stomach out of his mouth, ejects the object, then sucks his stomach back into place!”
Sharks can BARF their stomachs out?!
I can’t even do a cartwheel!

“ARGH, Shark! My glasses were only in your stomach because YOU ATE ME! Admit it and apologize or . . . or . . . ”
17
“And Fun Fact about THAT: 71% of the planet is covered by ocean!”
“But . . . but I thought we were friends.”
18
“Well . . . FRIENDS DON’T MAKE FRIENDS FEEL BAD ABOUT IT!”
19
I’ve never seen Shark so worked up!
“Feeding frenzy? We have to stop him!”
I have! Right before a feeding frenzy.
You want us to CHASE SHARK?!
20
Don’t try this at home, people!
21
Shark’s swimming so fast!
My armpits are sweaty! ALL EIGHT ARMPITS!
“Less sweating, more swimming! Great white sharks can swim up to 35 miles per hour!”
We’ll never catch him!
We don’t hafta CATCH Mr. Shark! I’m learning tracking in Seal Scouts! He’s . . .
22
He’s . . .
23
He’s in his Sulking Grotto!
THIS is his feeding frenzy? SUGAR?
You’ll get cavities, Shark!
24
“Actually, shark teeth are coated in fluoride. Sharks don’t get cavities!”
I’m so jealous!

“I’m hanging out with my REAL friend . . . ”
“Um . . . ”
26
“THIS GUY!”
STOP! Put me down! I’M ARMED!
“You don’t even know him, Shark.”
27
“And he’s my REAL friend—”
“I do, too! His name’s . . . Sticky—”
Is not.
Am not.
“And HE’D never hurt my feelings like YOU did!”
“I hurt YOUR feelings? BUT YOU ATE ME!”
28
DRAMA! I’m outta here!

“Shark, I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. I’ll try not to hurt your feelings again.”
“I . . . ”

“You taste gross.”
“SHARRRK!”
