She has a Christian cross on and the wolfman shrimp hybrid is wearing a yarmulke meaning Jewish.
Which is funnier on a whole other level because shrimp are not kosher.

I liked how it's hidden in the second panel by the truck tire.
And how the cross is hidden in the 4th panel by the cleavage.
Tbf I feel like cannibalism isn’t kosher either
It is. Humans aren't forbidden and we'd be considered a clean animal.
What if the human ate shrimp
If I eat a shrimp that ate human, would that be cannibalism?
If you eat their digestive tract I think it counts (if the human is still in there)
Indeed, here's Genesis 9:3, right after the Quite Big Flood:
Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
I thought that was just a lump on his head :(
It is but it's also a hat
Part of it was an excuse to draw cleavage, wasnt it?
I didn't notice his hat. Till you pointed it out.
Pretty sure he's supposed to be a lobster, not a shrimp
All shellfish are not kosher.
Oh! That makes sense. I didn’t notice it because it was hidden/camouflaged as the truck tire in the first panel.
Ahh ok I see it now! Thank you
The girl is perfect for him, except that she's christian and he's Jewish.
That's it, that's the joke.
I wonder why artists so often are completely clueless about the things they make art about. Lobsters aren’t pink when they’re alive. They get the pink colour only after being killed by boiling them.
Shoulda been blue.
He was dead inside
There aren't really lobster-headed lycanthropes either
He has a really bad sunburn.
I'm sure it's fine. Most Christians aren't Christians anyway, especially if this takes place in the States.
I feel ya, Zoidbefenrirbubba.
A bit transphobic of him to turn her down just because she's wearing the lowercase t transgender symbol /ref
What does /ref mean in this context? I don't think I've seen that one before.
Is the lobster supposed to be Zoidberg?
