Oh my gosh, that's so good. One of my favourite Dumm Comics ever.

I see Plop week is raging on. It's actually nice to see the difference between how you handled this gag and how Gabe handled it yesterday.

The Plop is funny, but really it's an after thought. It's where we're going, but as usual for 'Through the Porthole' getting there is the real fun. Never been big on barf gags myself, but it's fun to see the fish eat and then realize what they're eating. Two gags in one strip, you overachiever you!

Beyond the humor, seeing the Captain wretch is actually, dare I say, poinant in a way. In most of your strips the Captain is already in a state of action when the story opens; the scurvy dance, rushing so as to not be late, ect. It creates the illusion that he really has a life and we're only catching glimpses of it. That theme is what makes your cartoon so enjoyable to me. We don't really know the Captain. He's a private person and we're only catching snipets of his life.

Good job, Sean. I can't wait to see what other Plop themed humor awaits us on Dumm.

TTPH is the best Dumm comic ever.

Those fish. Eating. That.

Chain Message in a Bottle: awesome in that it is so not awesome to get these damn letters and it seems one can never escape some of life's little aggravations. It's a wonder the vomiting didn't occur AFTER receiving the letter!

Man, those chain-letters are everywhere, aren't they?

I think there's a guy who just spends his whole life writing these in various formats. The other day I say one painted on a building and another painted on a wall.

Super cool Sean, that's what I do when I receive those messages too.

Even on Dumm comics I cannot escape those chain letters of DOOM!
