I find the menu which pops-up a bit confusing, took me a while to
figure it out. Cant it be made as spread out menu along the top of the
webpage, like its usually done in other websites? A first class
`toolbar` of options, and beneath them the sub-options of the clicked
option.

Other than that, loved the cartoons (although a bit scary with all
those sharks around), but definitelly inspiring.
