I finished the 3rd season of Game of Thrones this week, which has spawned some fan boy style artwork from the series.
These are also available as prints and t-shirts on Society6
This is Leroy Dorsalfin
|
half shark
|
half man
|
Leroy lives on the tourist island of Walawaki,
|
Along with his best pal in the entire world, Andy "Sharkbait" Anderson. |
Now normally, when speaking of a Shark-man,
images such as this may come to mind.
|
But Leroy is quite the opposite
|
He is more your average every day “poorly
smelling, stinking up the hammock” type of shark.
|
Although his bloodline is unique at best, he is
really just like any other fun loving kid, minus one unshakable shark-like
infatuation...
|
an incurable obsession, for succulent fresh fish. |
This may seem perfect for a part shark who is
surrounded by the ocean,
|
only this poor fellow got the bum end of the
genetic mix, when he was diagnosed with clinical aquaphobia.
|
an immobilizing fear of the water.
|
Steadfast on a tasty meal, Leroy is constantly devising new and ridiculous ways to obtain the cuisine he craves, without going anywhere near the water he fears. |
This urge can lead to all sorts of unruly predicaments
|
of coarse, the predicaments I speak of are
usually influenced by his adventurous pal Sharkbait, who often goes beyond
conventional logic to help his best friend chase the fish he so badly craves
|
like the time he suggested heading into the
“Mount Never Return Volcano” for the fabled hot n' spicy Albacore who swims in
the lava
|
or the time he hypnotized Leroy to love water and
despise of fish instead of the other way around,
|
Boy did that ever turn out different than they had hoped! Sometimes they have success, sometimes not... |
But we can always bank on them getting into all sorts of preposterous fun along the way. Now as I mentioned, |
Leroy and Sharkbait live on a small tourist
island a few kilometers off of the mainland.
|
The natives of the island know and love Leroy. He
is simply one of its quirky residents.
|
along with the spunky El Nino'
|
the anti-genious Bjorn Bjornson, who’s family
moved to the island from Finland.
|
and their great friend Edna Earth, who is the
Island’s local tour guide to name a few.
ALL the Island’s inhabitants love Leroy, minus one very important citizen.
|
Enter the very short, very short tempered, unruly ruler, EL PRESIDENTE. |
see, El Presedente owns and runs Walkiwaki island (his ancestors run aground were trying to reach the moon by boat), and he has two overpowering traits... |
his love for money and power
|
and his hatred for Leroy Dorsalfin.
|
You must understand that El Presidente's
island's revenue is based on tourism,
|
so you can imagine what a walking, talking shark would do to a group of tourists seeing him for the first time. |
every frightened tourist leaving the island, is money out of El Presidente's pocket. So he would like nothing more than to rid the island of this sharky menace |
unfortunately, he has no legal grounds to do
that,
|
so he is forced to come up with usually poorly planned, and utterly ridiculous plots to capture the shark man and banish him forever. So in reflection.... |
Leroy is after fish
|
But he hates the water!
|
his best pal Sharkbait pushes him WAY of his
comfort zone to help him get it,
|
And El Presidente looks for any cockamamie scheme he can to rid the island of the pesky tourist scaring nuisance. |
These are the escapades of Leroy Dorsalfin
