Goodbye, Fish

I'm sad to see Fish go.

In terms of continuity, will Fish still be available to answer our 'Ask the Animals' queries? Will we be able to 'Ask the Ghost Fish' our urgent questions?

I'm sorry to ask such a selfish question during this time of mourning, I'll just miss him so much!

...the panel with the actual crucifixion would make a great new t-shirt.

He died for our fins

In Response to case (#3210):

There will be a replacement for Fish's questions starting this Thursday.

In Response to jon (#3212):

hrmm... one can only wonder what the hell he gets resurrected as...

Yes, but will it be replaced by a new line with the slogan "I Die in Beer"?

I think an interesting t-shirt to come out (no pun intended) of the "a many splendored thing" series, would be, "My lover went to the Disney dimension and all I got was rectal prolapse."

Maybe it's just me...

I'm sad to see fish go, He was my favorite character! :( This last story line was really good, all because of FISH!

Goodbye sweet fishy, may I have your beer?

In Response to redbandana (#3218):

Fish was one of my favorites too...

As sad as I am though, I wonder how Reese witherspoon is taking the news, if she even cares... sniff, sniff...

Alas, poor fish, I knew him well.

He will always be in our hearts, and in our beer.

In Response to coolhand (#3220):

You could keep all the merchandise, just add a past tense, such as I lived in beer...

In Response to jon (#3212):

Replacement? Oh dear, it's not me, is it?

In Response to Haddie (#3222):

Naw, man, respect for the dead. Besides, "Don't as me lady, I lived in beer" doesn't make a lot of sense.

In Response to jettaboy20 (#3219):

Therein may lie the most tragic irony... we still don't know what was in that letter Jon was going to give Fish when they found him dead.

Fish's death is going to kick off a string of events that will have repercussions for months to come.

Months to come? I want my repercussions now. I want to be repercussed so hard I forget all about poor Fish.

First Beefnut, now Fish. I don't know to what this world is coming.

Hey, who's the guy in the cape? He looks familiar. He's probably been in the comic before, but I just can't remember.

In Response to FeldmanSkitzoid (#3251):

Yeah. Who is that guy in the cape? [goats.com]

Please sell the fish merchandise a little longer, I don't get paid till after New Year's (yeah, it sucks) and I want a fish mug!

oren

The real conspiracy here is too many super-premies asked Jon to sketch Fish in Beer.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#3253):

If you can't spare ten bucks between now and Christmas, you have more pressing needs than a fish mug. Please buy food.

If you're truly desperate, though, contact me directly when you've got your financial situation straightened out and we'll hook you up.

In Response to Oedipa_Maas (#3254):

Eleven.

The bulk of the sketches were Toothgnip, Diablo and Neil and Bob. N&B were a pain to do, twice as much work for each, which, I suspect, is why people picked them.

Some of the Diablo sketches got kinda weird.

In Response to jon (#3258):

Aha! That's the truth!

Fish wasn't popular enough! He wasn't moving enough merchandise, he wasn't generating enough super-premie picture requests!

Look out Toothgnip. One small dip in your Rosenberg ratings could be.... fatal....! And I don't want to hear any whinging about 'how could he call it Goats without a goat?'! It's already plural when the goat is singular, so get over it!

In Response to mea37 (#3241):

That's true... I was so distraught over fish, I forgot all about the letter!

In Response to zamphir (#3260):

So it's come down to this, if a character isn't selling enough merchandise he gets killed off.

I'd watch your back Phillip, your portrait series t-shirt seems to have been discontinued...

In Response to DrJohnEvans (#3244):

" . . . to what this world is coming"??? That is exactly the sort of grammatical pedantry up with which I shall not put!

In Response to redbandana (#3218):

Maybe that's what's to come right there... fish's beer! Uncle Disgusting's Goldfish Brew, the latest and greatest from brewmeister Karlsson and crew. Will it be available from CafePress though? I think there's legality issues with the online sale of alcohol, story-line related or otherwise.

Fish flavoured beer would be preferable to some of the other things they try to put in it anyways. And, the perfect drink to enjoy with Tastes Like Chicken candy bars!
