Is there a specific event I am missing? Or is this just intended to be fun in general?

The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Sharks are attracted to deep sea (internet) cables and apparently like chewing on them, which may cause massive internet outages
Why don't they use chewing gum? Are they stupid?
Help them understand what it's like to chew 5gum!
Why sharks chewing them then ? Are deep sea cables has special flavor coated ? Or deep sea cables has weird electromagnetic wave that attract shark ?
Both of those have been causes.
Modern cables don't attract them, but sharks were a constant problem for many decades.
But what about the photos part?
Its just a joke, shark is trying to stop the, presumably, bad photos of them self from being shared.
Yes
And so it was that the photos were sharked instead.
