Comic by Niels Vergouwen facebook.com/couldbeworsecomic This comic features three panels. In the first panel, a person bundled up in winter clothing, presumably in a cold, icy environment, leans over a boat and says to two mermaids, "I thought all mermaids were skinny?" The two mermaids, who have a more robust build, are lounging on an ice floe. In the second panel, one of the mermaids responds, "Buddy, here we need all the insulation we can get..." implying that their body size is an adaptation to the cold environment, much like how marine mammals have blubber for insulation. The third panel shows the person in the boat looking at a more traditionally depicted mermaid with a slender figure, who appears frozen or in distress, lying next to two walruses on another ice floe. The person comments, "Fair enough," acknowledging the practicality of the mermaids' need for insulation in such a cold climate.
