Okay, this comic is something new: an “outside” story that I’ve been wanting to tell for a while now. It concerns our friends, the Dolphins and the Whales. If you aren’t familar with the products, this story was inspired by Austin Dolphins and Friends and Stauffers Whales crackers. Of course, those guys retain their copyrights, and in no way endorse FMAF. I do enjoy their crackers, though, and have been telling this little story for years. It’s a damn catchy name for crackers, is what it is – how can you not love a snack called “Dolphins and Friends?”

THINK OF THE DOLPHINS! AND THE WHALES! The children, too!
This… has touched me.
I know their simple story of longing and despair has touched me as well.
This is great. and a very rare 8 strip comic!
I’m very glad your a Dolphin Activist, Ian. lol
or wait. Maybe it’s Flying Man I should thank… lol
XD I love it! That was an excellent story and should be passed on to everyone. Knowledge is power!
Hey, thanks guys! Glad you liked the story – share it with your friends, and pass on the message of peace for all dolphins (and friends).
This story has always been funny, but the comic makes it even more so. Great job!
I think the drawings seal the deal. Such sad crackers. Such a tragic story.
Now I know how “Pom bears” feel.
We aren’t worried that you’ll be offended, that others will be.
Thats weird. I can’t see this comic. All the other comics work fine but the image for this one just doesn’t come up. also no alt text or anything else comes up. Just your little blog post and comments. No image
Leah: I thought that’s what you might’ve meant, but I wasn’t sure.
Earlz: can you view the image location?

Bad news – Per Kellogs Dolphins & Friends have been discontinued as of June.
Can we rally it back to production?
I’d heard that a little while ago, too, but I was hoping it was just a rumor. It’s a shame. We should all send them links to the comic to persuade them!
