Once upon a time a Fish Tale was a story with little to no basis in factual reality told as truth. These days that's the definition of a Presidential press statement (or a Twit tweet, if you prefer). While fake president goes ballistic telling us that truth is anti-Republican and facts have anti-conservative bias, i'm kind of missing the old Fish Tales.
So let's dive back into a trio of another sort of Fish Tales, starting with one from the great Jim Mooney starring Finny Fish -
Trees and picket fences in suburban neighborhoods underwater. I wonder if Sponge Bob's creators were fans...
Meanwhile, the classic trio of Winken, Blinken & Nod go on a fishy adventure with Bob Naylor -
Lastly today, Fish Family Frolics with Fin, 'n' Haddi and Mammy from Sidney Pillet -
Ah... If only we could keep silly, self-destructive fish from biting in real life.
They just love worms too much and can't resist taking the bait...
