1. A friend of mine has written (or rather drawn) a children's book about Family Fish. In one picture you can see how Mommy Fish teaches her child to swim using a swimming belt. I found this really funny.
2. The second one is wonderful as it crowds together multiple nightmares/phobias: shrinking, a hostile and very alien invironment, mummies/zombies, insects, and there was at least another one when I started to write this sentence, but it escaped my mind.
There is a Fleischer cartoon in which a baby fish comes home and is ordered by his mother to wash up for supper and dutifully goes to the sink to wash his fins and face, running water out of the faucet.
Too commonpalce just to be shrunk and attacked by insects--it has to be living mummified insects.
The Blackhawks had started during the war as a squadron of fighter pilots from various occupied countries flying for the RAF in missions over Germany (the leader was originally Polish but that was soon forgotten since he naturally had to an American). By the late 1960s they had changed into wahtever they were here, fighting insect mummies--and with the next issue, 200, as I recall they were transformed into super-powerd superheroes and then after about a year the book was cancelled. The oriignal artist was Reed Crandal who gave up the book when drafted. After that it was taken over by Bill Ward who in the early 1960s changed over to drawing fetishistic pornography.
