Why is there JAWS wine

Six bottles of red wine on a wooden shelf, each labeled with the classic Jaws movie poster showing a shark rising toward a swimmer. The bottles are titled “JAWS Amity Island Red.” A small white shelf tag below reads “Fior di Sole — JAWS Amity Island Red Blend”

Two-panel comic from Bummer Party

Panel 1: A kid with short dark hair holds up a drawing of a woman with cat ears and says, “Mom, everyone at school picked on me because I made AI art!”

Panel 2: The mother, visibly exasperated, facepalms and responds, “Oh my God you did not ‘make’ this, you humongous dweeb.”
