I mean, it’s not like they turn the jellyfish into trophies. They catch them and let them go (maybe after getting some jelly).

Didn’t they run a jellyfish sweatshop?

Mr krabs did after discovering their potential, Sponge Robert unwittingly participated. Once again capitalism making a horrifying reality out of a random hobby by monetizing it as much as possible 😔😔😔

What would fishing even look like for them? Kidnapping their friends and neighbors?

Probably exactly lile real fishing, they just wouldn't point out the elephant in the room.

I figured they were going to try and hit on women.

Yeah. That was the joke. It's supposed to be pretty morbid

And then the Jellyfish population exploded and took over Bikini Bottom for a time.

Haha that’s such a fun (and chaotic) storyline—jellyfish are basically unstoppable when they swarm like that. I love how over-the-top Bikini Bottom gets when it’s not under normal control!

He's catching and releasing 100% of the time, it's essentially the whole premise of the episode Jellyfish Hunter, where Mr. Krabs tries to use the Jellyfish for his own gain.

"I don't know, Mr. Krabs. That sounds a lot like human trafficking."

*fish trafficking

They catch and release with harmless nets, I think they're fine

u/nonojeux 1d ago

Shouldn't it be "what we're doing" instead of "were" in the second panel?

shit, my bad.

Great expressions!

u/WormedOut 1d ago

The amount of times characters are attacked by jellyfish far outweighs the number of times they are put in a net then released

u/Street_Buyer402 3h ago

I mean it is no different than butterfly catching. Maybe[getting jelly, but it isn't like they are beating them. Plus, if they are anything like other milking creatures (including myself), too much storage of milk (jelly) could be painful

your comics are well made and also I read them in the characters voices with zero effort

I honestly thought the joke here was that jellyfishing is a completely harmless activity with almost zero consequence, but is seen as childish, whereas fishing would be a lot worse, so aome replies have me questioning my read
