About

Fish Fear Me is a gag sprite comic featuring Fishest Gup, the world's first fish to ever evolve legs! This webcomic was first posted exclusively to Bluesky Social before this website was created for a more authentic early 2000s sprite comic browsing experience.

Fish Fear Me was originally created as a simple (unfinished) game for the District June Jam 4, with art by me (SeeroftheNight), programming by Innerface and CombustibleToast, and featuring music and photography by CountChrisdo. The original pitch to make a fish-themed game came from my partner Innerface, and once we had decided to do that I started drawing a bunch of silly fish sprites, originally intending them all to be NPCs/enemies encountered in the game. After drawing a fish with arms (Fisheye, who is the mean yellow fish in the first comic), I figured the next obvious thing to do was draw a fish with legs, and named him Fishest Gump (which was quickly changed to Fishest Gup). The others loved him so much that that they decided to make him the protagonist of the game, and we continued making jokes about Gup and drawing him long after the Jam had ended. Eventually I came up with the idea to use the game sprites to create a silly sprite comic based off of it. I hope you enjoy what we have created!
