Do you love manatees? I mean, do you really really LOVE MANATEES? So much that you would be willing to read a webcomic every week, even though it is incredibly depressing, because it is the only manatee comic strip in town?

For the record, I love all of you, wherever your allegience lies.

The Save the Manatee Club was founded by fellow manatee lovers Bob Graham and Jimmy Buffett and you can read about their efforts on their website, in addition to following manatee news, buying manatee merch, volunteering, and donating.
