Third and last of the comics about the ocean I made with @NPR this summer! One of the best things about working on this series was learning about scientists such as Dawn Wright, whose team maps the ocean floor.

1 of 11 pages of a comic about ocean invertebrates. The text reads: "When it comes to the ocean, some species get more attention than others. Whales, sharks, and dolphins tend to get a lot of love. But the unsung icons of the sea have no backbones. And there are a lot of them." The drawing shows a menagerie of ocean creatures, from a whale shark, oarfish, and dolphin to a sea sponge, clam, octopus, coral, and sea anemone. 2 of 11 pages of a comic about ocean invertebrates. The text reads: "There are over 34 phyla of marine invertebrates, from sponges to corals to octopuses to sea stars. As such a big group, they're pretty versatile." The drawing features representative organisms from each of the listed groups. Page 3 of 11 of a comic about ocean invertebrates. The text reads: "Across marine invertebrates, there's a whole bunch of "superpowers": regeneration, super strength, even stealing other animals' abilities. Understanding these abilities not only helps researchers understand the rules of life—they can also help transform our medicines." The drawing shows a sea star growing a new arm, a coral lifting up a heavy barbell, and a sea slug with a robber's mask gliding away with a sack of stinging cells stolen from a sea anemone.
