There wasn’t even a fish.

that looks like it hurts

omg!

how can you tell a proper fish story without hands?

Must be a good story. Looks like the kids are hooked too.

Wait until the kids find out his name is Jonah.

Now that I’ve collared your attention, may I tell you a whopper of a story?

Eeeyouch!

Yes, but he has the kids hooked.

The original body piercing!

Bait and switch. Next he starts talking about Amway.

and somewhere, some fish is telling the story of “the worm that got away”

Nice piercing.

Looks like the hook does too……

The audience is impressed. Lots of hook-"aah"s.

He’s STILL hooked on telling it his way….

He does this on a wriggler basis.

After such a cold winter, it’s nice to see such a worm comic.

Guess he wormed his way out of it ! ;-)

How about a punk earthworm, with many tattoos, and multiple fishhook piercings?

The kids look like they are taking the bait.

They’re not all hooked on his story.

This does not make sense. The line broke so that means the fish got away with the hook and the worm. So how did the worm not only escape but ended up in dry land with its peers?
