There were two possible things I was looking for here. I have found both of them now.

[–]so_carelessly_here 0 points1 point ago

I'm not quite as satisfied. I was looking for Bubbles.

[–]united_ultra -1 points0 points ago

Ain't no shame in holding on to grief, as long as you make room for other things too.

[–]HaydosMang 1 point2 points ago

Came to the comments for a reference to the Bubbles. Nice one!

[–]purpleidea 0 points1 point ago

I'm so sad there wasn't a Season Six. It felt like it was going to be about Lawyers.

[–]GillStipe 62 points63 points ago

So simplistic, yet I chuckled hardily.

[–]Ranch3ro 21 points22 points ago

Well I hardly chuckled.

[–]yummyummers 14 points15 points ago

I hardled chuckily.

[–]scottyd23 10 points11 points ago

I Harley chuckled.

[–]HigherFive 23 points24 points ago

I'd chuckle her harleys, if you know what I mean.

[–]Rammage 8 points9 points ago

Nope. I don't know what you mean.

[–]ISWEARONMYBALLS 3 points4 points ago

It's a republican thing, I guess...

[–]z3r0gk 5 points6 points ago

I'd Chuckle her so Hard. if you don't know what I don't mean.

[–]Fuglypump 3 points4 points ago

I'd chuckle her brains out so hard that she'd be dreaming about my chuckles for weeks, if you know what I mean.

[–]Jonny_Watts 0 points1 point ago

I just chuckled all over myself

[–]bigfatphony 2 points3 points ago

In this instance, I think heartily is the more correct word.

[–]GillStipe 0 points1 point ago

True, hardily doesn't seem to even be a word. However, I meant it more in the context of a hardy chuckle rather than a heartfelt one. Meh... semantics aside, I still thought it was funny.

[–]bigfatphony 0 points1 point ago

Even in that particular context, I would suggest hearty. Hardy connotes a resistance, such as a hardy plant surviving a cold winter. Hearty connotes abundance and heartfelt expression.

Ya, I thought it was pretty funny too.

[–]GillStipe 0 points1 point ago

Like I said, it was less of a heartfelt expression yet my chuckle was robust (perhaps even a guffaw) and in that sense, hardy is apropos.

[–]WhoFan 0 points1 point ago

Read it as "I chucked hardidly"

[–]-jellybeans- 15 points16 points ago

I was hoping a Trailerpark Boys post

[–]WaldosBrother 13 points14 points ago

[–]Muff1nmanNZ 20 points21 points ago

MY BUBBLES. Mine.

[–]Not_a_blimp 3 points4 points ago

It's even the right kind of fish

[–]knowanoir 6 points7 points ago

I like the scale of this humor.

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 4 points5 points ago

It's very buoyant.

[–]Drethin 0 points1 point ago

It's quite finny.

[–]TheTalkingCamelAnus 2 points3 points ago

This thread will flounder.

[–]lessobvious 8 points9 points ago

Hidden objects found:
none. :(

[–]OTuama 0 points1 point ago

I was a little disappointed too.

[–]RoadToSerfdom 10 points11 points ago

Dan Piraro is a genius and eclipses the tangents arced by Gary Larson.

[–]bear_cannon -2 points-1 points ago

Oh yes... I know those words.

[–]TommaClock 0 points1 point ago

<name> genius, eclipses, tangents, arced, <name>. How do you not know any of these words?

[–]StBlueFire 6 points7 points ago

Clearly thinking. Fish don't talk. Even if they could there is no reason it could not be represented by a normal speech bubble. Water has no affect on abstract concepts used to relay ideas like speech.

[–]jackchange 5 points6 points ago

This is really clever and I like it.

TALKING MOUTH FART.

[–]laffey_taffey -1 points0 points ago

burping

[–]Fakk -1 points0 points ago

Breathing.

[–]Jmajor7th 1 point2 points ago

clearly thinking

[–]Wildcard1222 -1 points0 points ago

Fish are friends, not food!

[–]Delgdog -1 points0 points ago

Burping, or breathing also

[–]PedroFebruar 0 points1 point ago

Please source.

[–]ShoMeUrNoobs 1 point2 points ago

If a fish doesn't blow bubbles when it breathes because it has gills, then does it also have gills in its butt? I have never seen bubbles come out at that end either.

[–]Tao_of_Entropy 1 point2 points ago

Gills don't make bubbles go away so I would assume that either they fart and you're missing it, they just bundle up their fart gas into their poo, or their digestion doesn't produce gases... which seems like something that would be hard to control. Interesting observation...

[–]FakeQuotes 1 point2 points ago

[–]strawberryblonde89 0 points1 point ago

This is so frustrating because the other fish either has responded yet or hasn't heard what the other thought...

[–]bolongatony -1 points0 points ago

I should have posted this when I saw it in my newspaper as well...

[–]piiQue 0 points1 point ago

...Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?

[–]bbdesigncof 0 points1 point ago

They're exhaling...

[–]showmeurmoves 0 points1 point ago

i think it's standard convention that the multiple little bubbles represent thought, meanwhile one continuous bubble represents speech

[–]TheAmbiguityBuster 0 points1 point ago

Talking. Because thoughts that come out of your mouth are words.

[–]CannibalIowa 1 point2 points ago

Fish can't talk though.

[–]TheAmbiguityBuster 0 points1 point ago

my god, you're right.

[–]skyman724 0 points1 point ago

Colorado would explode if it saw this right now.

[–]fall_ark 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it can be a bit too subtle for a single panel comic.

This one, on the other hand, is just right.

[–]neonnaturebeezy 1 point2 points ago

This is how I feel on mushrooms.

[–]NomadE85 0 points1 point ago

This made me laugh more than it should have.

[–]Fenoi 0 points1 point ago

clearly talking, otherwise the big bubble would be all cloudy and shit

[–]CarcosianAuthor 0 points1 point ago

Both. Everyone knows fish are psychic. That's how Aquaman communicates with them.

...I'll show myself out.

[–]jdog1078 0 points1 point ago

Yes

[–]AnneOnimous 0 points1 point ago

Both: telepathy. Boom!

[–]wukev -1 points0 points ago

Talking. The bubbles are coming from his mouth.

[–]Lvl2447 0 points1 point ago

That's how I feel when I take acid

[–]neonnaturebeezy 0 points1 point ago

agreed

[–]konan375 0 points1 point ago

[–]Livingfear 0 points1 point ago

According to wikipeda the balloon with smaller bubbles leading up to it is a thought balloon.

[–]sometimesijustdont 0 points1 point ago

or Farting?

[–]MrFLOJO 1 point2 points ago

.... I wondered after every Garfield comic I ever read as a kid.

[–]mcstatics 0 points1 point ago

Does it really launch? Does the tin man have a sheet metal cock?

http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/bubbles2.gif

[–]GPwner 0 points1 point ago

Talking, otherwise the bubbles would be coming from the brain area rather than the mouth.

[–]Hakaku 1 point2 points ago

Makes me think of Garfield.

[–]LoLquestions 0 points1 point ago

Beiber is not a Disney product or an actor in any Disney productions, so you chose the wrong face for your Luke Skywalker.

[–]JArming10 0 points1 point ago

I thought this had something to do with Bubbles off of Trailer Park Boys :(

[–]Dizzywig 0 points1 point ago

Definitely thinking. If the fish were talking, the other fish would be all, "HOLY SHIT A TALKING FISH"

[–]Rhody401 0 points1 point ago

[–]ZealousBubbles 0 points1 point ago

I feel like this is my time to shine...

[–]bigfatphony 0 points1 point ago

Pfffft, so dumb. Can the other fish hear him? If not, then he's thinking.

I' mean C'MON.

[–]HideoBromo 0 points1 point ago

Out of curiosity, did you get this from the sacramento bee?

[–]tiger-rawr[S] 0 points1 point ago

A friend just sent it to me, actually! No specific source...sorry to disappoint.

[–]DaveD90 0 points1 point ago

so fucking meta

I wish I could upvote more than once.

[–]Neker 0 points1 point ago

You know, this question is a really important one in the field of linguistics and cognitive sciences. The language capability and the thinking capability are so interlaced that it is a egg and hen problem of sorts. This cartoon may very well find its way to a cog. sci. textbook or journal ...

[–]manole100 0 points1 point ago

Is this a rhetorical question?

[–]Corvus489 0 points1 point ago

I'm just going to leave this here...

Knock knock

[–]chagoi -1 points0 points ago

Did you know? There is no way you can sound angry however way you say the word bubbles.

[–]felixjawesome 0 points1 point ago

Neither.

  1. fish don't breath air, they filter water threw/through their gills.

  2. fish don't think.

[–]ninjabananas -2 points-1 points ago

I've always wanted to be a fish because if i was a fish I would technichally always be flying ... when i saw the surface it would be like spaceand i could be like an astronot fish:D also when people are fishing I could be the smart fish and tell them not to eat the worm and i would save fish society:D...I would be a fishy astronaut hero!!!!!! :d :D <3
