4-panel comic.

Panel 1: Staci (blonde girl, burgundy one-piece) has thrown a checkered tablecloth over her ocean rock and she's having lunch with her boyfriend, the titular shark!

Finn has a mouth full of a bite as he offers her a toe.
Panel 2: Staci holds back a big barf. Finn laughs.
Panel 3: Staci offers Finn a leaf of lettuce. Finn recoils in horror.
Panel 4: Finn is dry-heaving into the water as Staci steals the toe off his plate.

Panel 1: The gang recoiling in horror at their rent bill.

"Art" by Liz Ransdell & Atlas Talos

Single-panel comic. Dick the Dolphin, Rocky the Kitten, and Darryl the Squid are in an art studio painting Finn the Shark, who poses regally under a spotlight, part of his body conveniently covered by a canvas. On the students' canvases, we see that each of them have rendered the great white shark's two penises, known as claspers, with various levels of skill.

Dick jokes! Woo!
