The Deep from the show The Boys (a clear Aquaman/Namor homage) has gills under his rib cage on either side of his abs. It’s pretty gross and he’s very self-conscious of them.
He’s not a mermaid but he’s a “human with gills” so counts for this discussion.
I believe I’ve also seen a portrayal of mermaids (I can’t remember in which medium) that had gills around where their hips would be if they had a human lower body, or to put it another way they are on the sides at the top of the fish part. Which seems (relatively) sensible to me.
Gah, I make mistakes all the time. I just this week confused Brian Dennehy and Brian Keith. Not the actors themselves, just their names, for some unknown reason. I’d certainly never try to brazen out a complete bonehead error like that.
I guess, but, as I said, I know who the two actors are as individuals, I just want to call them by the other’s name. I don’t know what neuron misfires to make me do that.
Help, Sam! We really need you to post an article that says the opposite of what you think it did… quick, before we’re wasted away again in Mermaidville.
And now back to David Keith, Keith David, Keith Carradine, David Carradine and Don Juan the Love-Sick Urechis Worm in Sam_Stone: Bred In Canada, A Crumb in America!
