MerMantis Shrimp. Even his most genuine displays of affection are incredibly violent. 

Note: I'm pretty sure real mantis shrimps are incapable of friendships with other crustaceans (and were this an encounter in the wild, it would surely be more of a dinner-for-one type arrangement), but this is the world of Merpeople and I'd like to believe that Mermantis Shrimp's partial humanity has made him a bit more open minded.

Sick Sharkmaid.  I don't know who else has had the experience of leaving the house while feeling gross and running into, well, everyone you know. Believe me, it's no fun.

Also, today's comic is my 50th Merpeople comic!! Huzzah!!
