There are 4,967,000 commercial fishermen at work, and in the U.S. alone well over half a million people are employed in fishing and related fields-cleaning, canning, packing, distributing.

Suddenly Ghoulardi's head popped into the picture, saying, "Cool it. Don't eat that stuff. I'll take you around the corner and get you a good pizza." Zow. In another film, a mad scientist had turned a group of people into micromidgets. "What do you want?" said the scientist to the grumbling group. Ghoulardi, superimposed in miniature, raised his hand and said, "The men's room...
