The beach, the forest, a rose garden on a sunny day — those are places I seek out to clear my head. I’m not always successful.
Heads up: I have recently changed the posting schedule for Fetch. New strips will appear on Sunday at my Patreon, then at this site and other social media on Wednesdays. If you’re dying to get an early dose of Fetch, please consider donating a dollar a month to my Patreon account. I would really appreciate it!

Kevin and Fetch stand on the beach, looking at the waves rolling in.
Kevin: I COULD WATCH THIS ALL DAY.
Kevin: JUST SMELL THAT OCEAN BREEZE.
Fetch: DIMETHYL SULFIDE!
Fetch: THAT'S GAS FROM BACTERIA FEASTING ON DYING PLANKTON AND ROTTING SEAWEED. FARTS OF THE SEA!
Kevin: NICE. AND THE SOOTHING WAVES CRASHING ON THE SHORE?
Fetch: HOPES AND DREAMS BEACHING THEMSELVES LIKE DESPONDENT WHALES.

Reminds me of the college professor who told our class that the smell of popcorn contained hydrogen sulfide, a key component of sewer gas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewer_gas
Haha. Science can be such a buzzkill. Yet still cool.
