Wow, you guys must have conered the market on thinking caps, and Scrimshaw, that must have been some dream. I'll bet rum was involved.
There are many great names here, but a few fit my comic better than others.
Here is the shortlist:
Off the Hook
Marooned on the Mainland
Adrift
Washed Up (or Beached)
AAAARRRR!
Beachcombing (mine, but not qualified for t-shirt)
The bar has been set accordingly. If you can top these, by all means do. I'll give it one more week before making my final decision.
Thanks everyone.

For what it's worth I liked "Bamboozled."
Also, I have been using the name "Off the Hook " for a cartoon that I do for The Monterey Bay Trout and Salmon Project Newletter. I have only done a few comics for them and never did do any kind of trademark or copyright procedure for it. I dont really think my strip will be published in anything other than the newsletter. So I dont mind sharing the name. Just wanted to let you know that name was already being used somewhere.
Good luck with the toonz.

I can't believe nobody suggested "Kumanawanalei'a". C'mon, folks!
Actually, if you're looking for names, make sure it hasn't been taken. Go to http://onlinecomics.net/ or Google and search for the words.
People tend to get a little bit shirty (not to mention litigious) when they think you're infringing upon their imagined trademarks. And then, people with actual registered trademarks and servicemarks get beyond shirty and litigious if they think you're "defaming the brand presence" or whatever.

Chongolio, I wouldn't think of infringing. Can we see any of your comic work online? Sorry Tiki Chris.
Craetagus, that's a pretty cool link. Thanks. My wife's a patent paralegal, but is also well versed in Trademarks. She'll keep me straight.

Hey Raffer-T,
If you like the name by all means infringe, that is if somebody else hasn't already layed claim to it. I really am not doing much with my strip. It only shows up in a a local bi-monthly newsletter. I dont have any of the "Off the Hook" cartoons online. Maybe someday they will get posted on the MBSTP website but for now they are only in print.
I do have a few cartoons on my site. Feel free to check them out at your leisure:

Nice stuff. The one with the photographic background is a real eye-catcher.

Thanks, Raffertiki. Cartoons can be tricky, definately not my forte, but I still dig goofy humor.

Only two days left. I'm happy with the suggestions so far, but I'm curious if these can be topped.
