I read the other day about the stupid behavior of beach goers in Argentina. Ā Seems a babyĀ Franciscanas Dolphin was stuck near the shore so instead of helping the animal back into the water, overzealous tourists decided to pull it onto the beach and take selfies with it. Ā Of course it quickly dehydrated and died.
I was thinking about it when I got a Facebook notification from Dan Soto
Not quite what Dan requested but challenge accepted. Ā Like Planet of the Apes, what happens when the animals turn on us and start reacting in human behavior. Ā OK far fetched but Dolphin Selfies is something I want to see. Ā š

Excellent cartoon work, Bearman, but bad on those people who let the dolphin die.
Thanks Deb. True True
Too bad people don’t have the intelligence of dolphins.
or Wombies (well some of them :))
That would be too much to hope for.
I guess (hope) they didn’t mean any harm. Sometimes people in large groups do really stupid things.
Mob mentality.
Exactly….Just one idiot starts them all down the path
If you pardon the salty language, those people were so fothermucking stupid do such a completely idiotic thing.
Why yes, lets pass an animal around until it dies, ’cause you know, it’s better to be immortalized with an amphibian than it is to do the right thing.
I wonder how many of those who posted their selfie on social media, quickly took it down
Funny comic. Too bad it was inspired by such a crappy incident. š
Thanks J
As I watch and read more about animals I realize that many are very intelligent. I didn’t know that until I was older. Dolphins are have developed a language, hunt together, and are very social. I suspect the tourist didn’t even think about the dolphin’s condition. We should respect other animals especially more advanced ones. Thanks for the post – I had not heard about this.
If you are going to eat it, eat it. But for selfies or sport I don’t get
OĆ bman I got a new fb. Accept me!
You change names more than Tony changes websites š
People are idiots! I should know, I’m their queen! [smirk]
hehee
The amount of admiration I have for your cartoon is equal to the disgust I feel for those cretinous and reprehensible opportunists in Argentina.
Thanks Mark…sadness
Now that is sad!

What a shame. I do think all those involved in the selfies there should have themselves passed around as they did the dolphin. Under water of course.
Great job.
Have a fabulous day. āŗ
Thanks Sandee
When I saw that on the news I was livid, If only your comic had actually happened to that group of people!
So true
Your cartoon is hilarious but the selfie people deserve it to become reality. This makes me so angry.
Thanks Tony
Ever see the Abyss? The power in the ocean are gonna take us all out for this.
Its been so long all I can remember is the water and people dying.
