“There has to be SOMETHING down here that can give an explanation- Wait, what was that?”

“What was what, Dib-stink? Zim saw nothing.”

 Zim invites himself along for Dib’s investigation. Dib isn’t terribly happy about it.

Decided to try a bit of pencil shading here. I think it looks pretty good!

“You are lucky Zim wants to get to the bottom of your strange  transformation as you do, Dib-stink. Otherwise Zim would NOT be willing  to transport your disgusting self to the beach…”

“You know, when we’re not trying to kill each other, riding in your space ship is actually really cool.”

“… Of course it is. But don’t you DARE push any buttons. It’s bad enough that Zim will have to clean the water up.”

.

Dib was getting very frustrated by his dad’s lack of results, and somehow managed to convince Zim to take him back to the beach.

Zim  only agreed because his plans to rule the world aren’t as enjoyable  without the human trying to stop him and fighting Dib like this isn’t  fair for their magnificent rivalry. (It’s not because he’s WORRIED about  Dib. No, of course not. That’s silly.)

Word of advice folks, don’t get on the nerves of the alien giving you a  free ride in his space  ship. Otherwise, when it’s time for you to get  out, he may decide to THROW you out. 

 Zim has never been a very… SYMPATHETIC alien to Dib. I doubt that’s going to change anytime soon.

Even if Zim and water have never mixed.

 “Did you do this Zim? To stop me from stopping you?”

“What?  Turn you into a disgusting fish person? Of course not Dib-stink. But Zim  wishes he had, it would keep your disgustingly large head out of Zim’s  plans to take over the world.”

“Until we can fix this, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go to school. (Or even leave the house.) Now, since education is im-”

“Wait! What about Zim?! I can’t leave that alien alone! Who knows what hs could do if I’m not there to stop him!”

“Not this again, son…”

“DIB-STINK! ZIM DEMANDS TO KNOW WHY YOU WEREN’T AT THE SKOOL TODAY!”

.

Casual interaction, thy name is NOT Zim.

I  rediscovered some grey brush pens I forgot I had and decided to try  them. I like it, but I think I’m gonna stick with the plain lineart I’ve  been using for these pictures.

I might go full-color on them once Mermay is over though.

 “Strangely, son, your DNA hasn’t changed at all from before. As though the Piscine DNA has always been there. Which can’t be right, I never used any DNA besides my own when I made you and your sister… At least I don’t think I did. Did I? Hm… Maybe I should check my notes again? It’s been a while since then…”

.

This  story also works from the idea/theory that Prof. Membrane cloned  himself to make his kids (yay, test tube babies!) And he may be an  amazing man but, as the saying goes, “the old memory is the first thing  to go.” XD

(More story getting hinted~)

Also, Piscine is one of the fancy/scientific terms for fish and comes from the Greek word “Pisces”

 (I realized I fell out of posting here, so I’m going to send up a bunch to make up for it.)

“Oh, quit pouting, Dib. Dad said this wouldn’t be permanent. It’s just until he can set up a ‘proper’ tank for you.”

“That doesn’t mean I have to like it, Gaz.”

Gaz  keeping her grumpy, half-fish brother company while their dad sets up a  (hopefully)  more comfortable tank for him. He won’t admit it, but  Dib’s glad that he isn’t being left to his lonesome right now.

Although, Gaz is probably going to have a sore butt later from sitting on the floor for so long.
