It's a butt! With a little face and a tiny piggly "tail"! It's the glorious pigbutt worm!
These critters live in the deep sea, currently only found in the canyons off the California coast, are only a couple centimeters big, and despite their rotund appearance, are actually worms. Like other deep sea invertebrates, they cast out a snotty net to collect marine snow for food as it drifts down from the surface.
A slice of life nature comic that follows the hidden lives of marine creatures just doing what they do. How big of a sea star can a seagull swallow? Can certain sea slugs regenerate most their bodies? Are sharks and octopuses friends, foes, or something else entirely? All these questions and more are explored in humorous single page narratives focusing on one or two species at a time.
