the good F i S h

 

You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don’t want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something.
— Mitch Hedberg

    A delicious play on words and a subtle reminder – there’s no need to be a “gold” fish to be a valuable fish. “Good” will do just as well.

    I love this one. The positioning of the fish (and container) is so perfect – and balanced by the perfect text. Wow!

    Quirky but nonetheless excellent, I love the play on words and the fact the fish is looking at the viewer.

    Very interesting, but I think I feel a bit sad for the little fish. Love the quote.

    Love this one! The composition is just perfect, and the splash of red in the midst of the neutral colors is wonderful. And that quote just tops everything off. Hilarious!
