Would you let a dolphin guard your stuff? [Cartoon]

Have you ever had a friend watch your stuff? How did that go? Imagine asking Donnie the Dolphin to guard something.

Minnow pointing to pile of clams: Donnie, can you guard my clams? Donnie the Dolphin: Sure. Donnie looks at the clams: They sure look tasty. Donnie bites one of the clams: Ouch!

Crab approaches Donnie: I can yank that tooth. Donnie: Here, use this clam. Crab is standing on the pile of clams, shoving a clam into Donnie's mouth. Minnow approaches and sees this: What are you doing?

I was reading @trafalgar's post about how short content is undervalued here on Steemit. (Warning: that post's language is not safe for work.) So I thought I'd make a longer post. I never thought it would take this long to do though. I even studied old Moon Mullins and Katzenjammer Kids cartoons to see how to extend a joke over 12 or more panels. Those cartoons were great, they inspired this attempt to extend my number of panels.
