We Did It

Freshly back from the Slamdance/Sundance Film Festivals, where Pablo Bryant’s documentary was screened and embraced by the sort of riffraff mainstream America wouldn’t allow to drink from the driveway hose if the world was on fire.  In other words, my kind of people.  And speaking of flames licking something, dig this shot of a Mr. Fish original being hoisted high and mighty in the frigid cold at the Respect Rally in Park City during the festival.  The banner was also spotted in the LA Times and on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.  Fuck, maybe we can do it.  Dig it.

  1. And the Lord saw that it was good. And on the seventh day they were arrested.

  2. Okay, if this comes up twice so be it…I feel like such a millennial.

    Please allow me to correct my typos…He’s been “beating” his head…

    And in “good” fun.

    OMG. LOL. HA and a bunch of emojis…

  3. Beating his head that is, sorry for the typo in my diatribe, so embarrassing. Oy, and in good fun…what can I say,? Well, apparently nothing without misspelling it. I feel like such a millennial. OMG. Lol. And emojis.

  4. Oh my god, you’re a fucking rock star. Look at you, changing the world one cartoon at a time. Never let the dreams die, Fish. Never. You have poetic, filthy words along with beautiful yet downright ugly illustrations that confront all that is right and wrong with the world. And you do it fearlessly. Soak it in. But if you let it change you one bit, I will personally hunt you down and strangle you with my granny undies. Slowly, but while dancing. RIGHT THE FUCK ON!

  5. What an inspiring protest photo! This morning I kept looking at the “Sweet Jesus! What is it?” cartoon posted on Instagram by LaughWithBernie, And I just had to find out who Mr. Fish is. What an inspiring, talented artist!

  6. NY Times, 5 hours ago, Naomi Parker Fraley, the Real Rosie the Riveter, Dies at 96.

    And she died on Saturday, the day this appeared in the papers. Something cosmic about it. Auspicious, as the Buddha would go. Fish spiciois even. I wonder what she would say of her picture there. We can imagine she is gleaming and flexing.

  7. Bought And then the world exploded.
    Loved it!
    Am lending it to family and friends.
    Hope you don’t mind that they won’t be buying a copy.
    Hmm, they might want one just for them.

    1. Thanks for helping the world explode. I can’t think of anybody who truly cares more about people and the world than Mr. Fish. But, for god’s sake, man, he’s been bearing his head against a wall of silent disdain for too long. Now that he has a moment to do some real work, make your friends buy their own damned copies. Fish has a family to feed and a world to educate. Just sayin’ yo, in could fun, but also for the love of Fish. A super fan from a long way back…

      1. Ummmm, no I’m not high, but I wish I were. I wrote two embarrassing corrrections to my reply to you, without hitting the reply button specifically to you. So now, my ignorance is posted out of sequence and at the top of the thread. At this point, I’m just going to self medicate and go to sleep and pretend like this never happened. Please play along. Thanks.
