UP IN SMOKE

I'm not really sure what kind of fish this is. In fact, I don't have the slightest idea. I do know they were quite popular in the Late 60's and early 70's. They were often seen after a large catch of "Square Grouper." Some of you may not be familiar with that term. Suffice it to say, Cheech and Chong's favorite fish was the Square Grouper.

  1. Seriously, how does the FLDP staff find this stuff??? The artist might be familiar with Square Grouper.

  19. Are you sure it's a fish? It looks like a creature from outer space, or something conjured up in the minds of Cheech and Chong. :)
