Now she can focus on more pressing matters, such as:
*I had to look up what baleen was while illustrating this comic. Baleen is a filter-feeder system inside the mouths of baleen whales. The baleen system works when a whale opens its mouth underwater and the whale takes in water. The whale then pushes the water out, and animals such as krill are filtered by the baleen and remain as food source for the whale. Baleen is similar to bristles and is made of keratin, the same substance found in human fingernails and hair. In the past it has been used commercially because of its durability and flexibility -- most profitably in the boning of corsets. Which I find gross. Use plastic or metal and leave the awesome whales to swim in their infinite glory.
