#OnePanelVSS
December 1, 2025
This one is silly and is mostly for one person (Good morning, Steve!) but I hope everyone enjoys the surrealist/Far Side flavor! I got the prompts “confused” and “fish” and I immediately thought…what kind of weird lures would confuzzle a fish? Which led to the progression of…this.
Weekly disclaimer/explanation: For those new and/or unfamiliar with my #OnePanelVSS, it is purely a writing exercise. Like sketching for your prose muscles. Use the image to come up with whatever you think is happening. No need to use my prompt words in the writing. But I would love to see what you come up with, so please tag me on social media! (I’m paintmonkeyart on Bluesky and Instagram and Paintmonkey Studios on Facebook.)
Have a great week! Be safe. Melt some ICE if you can. Take care of each other.

I was a huge Far Side kid but the rat in scuba gear also brought to mind Muppet Treasure Island because they have a side story/luxury cruise scheme (including scuba divers). Fun stuff!
