...take it from the Sea Devils.
I don't write about comics nearly as much as I ought to, considering how much I love the durn things. But this afternoon I was reading an old issue of DC's Sea Devils, their scuba-diving adventure team from the sixties. In it, an undersea shapeshifter called the Man-Fish begins to turn the team against their leader, Dane Dorrance (whose long-lost father appears in this issue, inexplicably named John Payton, but that's beside the point). Dane's love interest, Judy, really seems to go for the guy:
To the point where she even tells her boyfriend the new deal:
So in case you were wondering, diamonds aren't a girl's best friend. It's gills, baby. Gills. They make diving much more fun!

you know whenever i think if sea devils, i think of the ones from doctor who but, more importantly, your sea devils have no horns. how are they in fact devil and why, why isn't the coffee working yet. dammit!
Aulthough you can't tell from the pictures I posted, they have pitchfork icons on their shirts. It was either "Sea Devils" or "Sea Farmhands." I think they made the right call.
i guess sea farmhands isn't a bankable franchise
Not yet, but wait until big aquaagrabusiness takes hold.
i have a new idea. it'll be about a guy who lives under the sea and he buys and sells stocks and bonds using his aquatic telepathy and a T3 connection. his name is "aquabroker"
