Watching Jaws and Little Mermaid at 7 did something to me. It made me a mer-obsessed, ocean fearing/loving cartoonist.

Lucy, Cookie, and Catriona look determinedly and dramatically towards the sky, each one are reacting in their own unique way to the challenge that lies ahead. Cookie is looking mischievous; Lucy looks determined; and Catriona is looking eager. Lucy: “Well ladies, this makes our next undulation obvious! We’re stealing our beer back! If that’s how that scumbag wants to play, then let’s play! We’ll show him what happens when you mess with the Siren Saloon Mermaids!”

Cookie turns away from the bar in disgust, while Catriona still looks on, giving an angry huff. Lucy is being slapped upside the head by her imaginary visages of Stuckman and his sister. Cookie: “Bah. We have bigger problems than that ass, and his attractive nose.” Lucy: “Yeah! Him and those barrels back there can eat sand!” All: “….” Lucy and Cookie suddenly jump back towards the hotdog statue and sandwich into Catriona with a loud “BONK”. We get a close up of their faces, and they are looking very angry. All: “That bottom feeder! Those are our barrels!” We get a close up of a stack of barrels in the back of the bar.

On today's page of Wet Frontier, we see what happens when the goons are hisssterical figures. It's about how two on one can't tip the scale. About how Lucy kicks asp- I'm sorry, it's a snake fight.

The three mermaids are peering from behind the big hot dog statue and beholding the site of a building in a clearing down below. The building is Stuckman’s Palace, another merfolk bar. This one is made from the repurposed lower half of a ship, but with extra extensions on the roof that make a similar appearance to a top hat on a face. There is a brass chimney to the side. From inside the bar we can make out a lot of noise and clamour that could be described as, “Public Unrest,” “General Clamour,” “Bite Me,” “Drink Ovaltine,” and other such disruptive vocals. Lucy: “Yeech. It’s coming from Stuckman’s Dive. That creep wouldn’t know civility if it bit his pretty nose in the face.” Cookie: “There’s quite a crowd today.” Cat: “But why? Everyone knows his beer is caca.” Lucy looks very ruefully towards the sky and imagines the visage of Stuckman and his sister. Both are the upper halves of sawtooth shark merfolk. Lucy: “That stupid sexy jerk, and his stupid sexy sister! The minute I lose my inventory they steal my clientele!”

Narrator: “And so, the Saloon Mermaids made inquiry around town about the missing beer. They shook down everyone who looked even a bit suspicious, but no one had answers.” We see various scenes of the women jostling different passerbys. (While Catriona harasses some moss.) Cookie/Cat: “Talk you scum of the earth.” We see a scene of Lucy passing by a weird statue of an anthropomorphic hot dog mascot. There are loud noises coming from behind the mascot. SFX: Howdy! Yeehaw! Reckon! Fiddle Dee Lucy: “Suspicious noises coming from behind a suspicious rock… suspicious.” Lucy calls to Catriona and Cookie. Lucy: “Follow me ladies. I smell rotten fish.”

This Gameinformer cover made me nearly spit my coffee. There are so many things about it.
The cover of Gameinformer issue 103 titled, Gamecube vs Xbox and it features Luigi from Luigi's Mansion facing one of the characters from Dead or Alive.

An cecaelia comes out of the shadows. This is Cookie Darling, the bar’s insane chef. She is a red cecaelia with four tentacles on her bottom, and three in place of her hair. She is screaming irately, and showing off that she has a prominent, bulging, bloodshot eye. Cookie: “Where is that troublemaker?! I shall wring her neck!” Lucy attempts to hold off Cookie’s wrath but to no avail. Cookie speeds past her and starts comically choking Catriona. Lucy: “Wait Cooke, Cat says- Whoa, starting fast today!” Cookie proceeds to exaggeratedly inspect Catriona’s open mouth and pull out various objects of dubious edibility from within. Cookie: “I know they’re in that blackhole you call a stomach!” Cat: “I didn’t do anything yet!”* Lucy restrains Cookie, holding her tentacles down by wrapping her eel fin around them all. Lucy: “Whoa Cookie! It’s too early for this routine!” Cookie: “Then let me get you up to speed! Our alcohol’s gone!” Lucy looks shocked. Lucy: “Wait… what?”

We are introduced to Catriona. She is a yellow Catfish mermaid who wears a green barmaid’s dress and corset, but the corset is on backwards. She wears comically large glasses and has blue hair in two buns behind her. She looks proud at herself. Catriona: “I opened the place all by myself today!” Lucy swims to Catriona and gives her a peck on the cheek while adjusting her bowtie. Lucy: “Good job Catty!” Cat: “It was easy E-S-Y!” Lucy: “E-A-S-Y babe, but you were one letter close.” Lucy then gives Catriona a sly look, while Catriona looks nervous. Lucy: “So… what set Cookie off today?” Cat: “Uhhh, I don’t know…” Lucy: “Let me rephrase that: Did you do something in her kitchen?” Cat: “N-no!” Catriona looks down guiltily. Cat: “… I stole soup yesterday.” Lucy: “Catty…” We see a figure in shadow watching the two mermaids. A grimace is clear on their face. Cat: “B-but she caught me doing it! I’m clean today!” Lucy: “So then what...”

Lucy, Cat, and Cookie are a found family of mermaids.

They have all had hard lives before founding the Siren Saloon. And in just five years they made a stable life for themselves.

I think the thing I like most about them is that they represent finding stability and help in a chaotic reality.
3 Chibi Mermaids are all dressed in burlesque garments. Their colors are deep green, red, and yellow green.

The ball of rage that is Arianna.
I love how anger and cynicism seeps into every aspect of her being even when she knows it's to her detriment.
And it feels like she's fighting against herself half the time as much as the rest of the world.

We behold the interior of the Siren Saloon. The back of the ship has been retrofitted into a stage, with large windows shining the golden morning light into the interior. Some of the sunlight reflects off the stage curtains, and the tables closest to it. Several tables have been nailed to the walls of the bar up to the ceiling. Besides these tables is the actual bar area. A cavity in the ship interior which houses various bottles of alcohol and other sorts. The bar faces a counter of coral, which itself faces two lilypad seats. Above the bar is a large ornate shell, decorated with letters that say, “Bar.” Above the bar is a large grate that leads to the upper deck, repurposed by the merfolk into a skylight. Attached to the grate is a lantern that houses a jellyfish. Several of these types of lanterns are scattered about with jellyfish inside. They are meant for lights, but in the morning, they are inactive as even flame lanterns. There is a large mast that has pierced the interior of the vessel, having been repusposed in some ways, but left alone in others. It is growing noticeable amounts of moss on its wood. Shadowed to the front of the vessel is an alcove with a sign below it that reads, “Kitchen.” Narrator: “Lucy Styles’ Siren Saloon. The heart of this town and all of its denizens. Many adventures start and end in this tavern. I personally recommend trying the Damselfish Draught.” Lucy smiles at the sight of her bar. “Aah… I never get tired of this view.” A voice calls to her from offscreen. “Good morning Lucy!” Lucy looks towards the new figure and smiles. We see a bit of the new figure’s fin. “Ah! There’s my favorite gal!”

Our first page properly introducing Lucy Styles as she looks up to her place of establishment, the Siren Saloon. The Saloon is a sunken barge in the middle of the ocean, with an extension in the middle of the ship that acts as a front entrance hall. She is introduced with the title: Lucy Styles. Eel Mermaid. Siren Saloon Owner. Lucy: “Good morning Siren Saloon! You’re looking lovely today!” Suddenly, Lucy is thrown off by the sounds of a large crash coming from the Saloon. A voice is heard from inside the saloon screaming loudly. ?: “Mother of god!! They can’t all be gone!!” Lucy sighs to herself. Lucy: “And the day begins...”
