Literary Fish Mugs

Odd Angles,a monthly strip on coarse angling.

Kid to fellow fisherman: 'Why do they stink like fish when they've been bathing this whole time?'

It is essential not to overcrowd a tank as this can cause serious problems...

Fish talking about fisherman

Man to other about fish on wall: Heh - I use that size fish for bait!'

"Take your first left and then keep turning left until you eventually float to the top."

"Why... do goldfish have such a short memory span? We don't – there isn't anything to remember if all you do is swim around in circles all day long."

"This aquarium is such a nice prison."

Cool Cat, Dog Dork, Grumpy Goldfish, Constipated Cockatiel.

'Sometimes I feel sorry for those little baitfish, don't you, Ben?'

Incognito Bonito - 'I don't know me, but I do know you!'

"Cat got your tongue?"

"Is really wet, here!"

Fish Food

Man around campfire Title: 'Ed is a fisherman who never lies. He tells all his stories sitting up.'

'I'll have three of those trout, but throw them to me. . . I want to tell the wife I caught them.'

"If man evolved from apes,does that mean we came from Sea Monkeys?"

Please no evolving here. Thank you

One of the crucial moments in evolution: 'It's a beautiful day today... We could go out for a walk...'

'Say, are you the elusive walleye from Big Bear lake?'

'Mummy-do you believe in cod?'

Fisherman to friend about to be devoured by shark: 'Bill, are you familiar with the health benefits of shark cartilage?'

"Is 'Upstream' where we really want to be?"

"It is one of life's great mysteries. No one has ever returned to tell."

'I know I shouldn't bite, but I keep thinking about that poor slob up there...hot, tired, hungry...'

"Remember me? You caught me on the Beaverkill, opening day, 1952."

'I'm telling you Bill: I can hear a scratching sound...'

'That fish sure was a fighter!'

Escaped Fish

'A compilation of fish stories? You'll find that in the fiction section.'

I don't want to be thought of as just another pretty face...

'Oh, I would say it was at least twice that size, and it had fangs and horns too...'

"Be still and know that I am cod."
