dolphins wear glasses?

I recently found out there was a Marine Boy coloring book out when the show was being aired originally.  I learned of it from Toy Ventures, and then was able to purchase a copy as a PDF from Retro Reprints, who do loads of such things.  It is pretty decent, and I would have loved having it at the time.  I may get some more in the future, and see about printing them out. Or not.  They are never as much fun as I remembered, though.  Some coloring books are better than others, though.

what next?

So my next post is the 2000th.  I have an interesting topic in mind, and it will feature one of the images in from one of these pictures.

dolphins and dragons

just watched two of my favorite episodes- "The Genuis Dolphin" and "Dragon of the Sea".

in the first, Splasher gets to talk and hilarious hijinks abound. it's very cute and funny to hear Splasher talk and sing. in the second one, a giant plesiosaur is lost. Marine Boy befriends it and tries to take it to see his father. never argue with a mermaid is the lesson of the day!

i mean, who wouldn't want to talk to a dolphin and who wouldn't want to have a giant "sea dragon" as a friend? nothing in the ocean would bother you at all!

so far the best episodes have been in since the 30s in this series. i've got to start doing some screen caps of various episodes for the book.
