I think it’s a trap set up by the shark. The guys are about to play with a Frisbee, and the shark has a fan set up. When they start to play, presumably he’ll turn it on attempting to blow the Frisbee into the sea…aha! Gotcha’. Therefore, careful of the wind.
…in case of any pedantry, the shark doesn’t want the Frisbee. Once one of the guys goes in the sea to get it back…aha! Gotcha’. etc.
Green shorts guy is trying to go windsurfing. You can see the tip of the sail of his sunken board. He’s found the wind to be too wind or unpredictable, so he installed a large wind machine that he purchased from the movie prop store to try to blow him around. However, as he is a surfer, he’s high, so he plugged the thing into the sand, under the water, rather than an electrical outlet and is hallucinating a raging gale from the machine. So he’s warning yellow shorts guy because he is afraid yellow shorts guy will lose his frisbee in the high winds.
Sorry, I meant “…too weak or unpredictable…”
singapore bill. Are you making a joke? Or is that a serious interpretation.
@ woozy – I think it was a serious attempt to make an April 10th joke at least 10 times as silly as one for April 1st.
Stan has it. I do have some questions, though. Where did the shark get that fan, and how did it get it up onto the beach? What is the fan plugged into? I assume (because of the power cord) that it runs on 110 volts, so how does the outlet work underwater?
swazoo: Amazon, drone delivery, electric eel, cartoon physics. Hope that helps.
The comments, esp. It’s JustMe, are funnier than the comic itself. Thanks for the a.m. laffs.
Is there a Pulitzer for comics? Cause this one deserves one.
As others have pointed out, it’s a trap set up by the shark: The fan will direct the frisbee towards the water, and when someone goes in to retrieve it, they end up as shark bait.
What’s a little confusing is guy who’s speaking. Does he know about the trap that the shark set up, and is therefore warning the other with a rather indirect message? Or is he oblivious to the shark, making his warning just a bizarre coincidence?
The world may never know.

It’s Schrodinger’s Shark… both answers are true until the Frisbee goes into the water, then the probability wave collapses and one answer is revealed to be true.
Waves always collapse as they near the beach…

He knows. He isn’t being indirect so much as being understated. Even the guy in yellow knows.
I assume that’s Sherman under there, since in his undersea world electronics work just fine. I don’t remember seeing a plug, but they need to charge their laptops somewhere.
scottfrombayside: no, Sherman’s laptops are like laptops on TV, which are never plugged in, never run down, and come on instantly when touched. No need for plugs!
I liked this one a lot – it reminds me of the Larson “Cat Fud” panel.
What..no-one’s irked by the missing “Be” from the cautionary statement in the word balloon?
:-P
That kind of problem’s a bit too existential.
Given the Wile E. Coyote setup, I expect the shark to be the SNL Land Shark.
Hmmm . . . the only Land Shark I’m aware of is Jimmy Buffett’s.
If the shark could get out of the water to set up the fan, I’d think he’d just go ahead and grab a human off the beach then and not worry about setting the trap.
In my defense, I didn’t get any sleep last night, OK? This question is uniquely fascinating to me in this mental state.
