DEAR DOLPHIN

by Herbert Kenny ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 15, 1967

In a gay nonsense fantasy, Ann in oceanland seeks the Lost Atlantis which isn't lost at all. She finds the Sea (or Saw) Serpent who endlessly ponders the reality of his existence; the pirate Captain Teach who has the three no-evil monkeys aboard as well as a princess of Atlantis, a compulsive talker, and Ann's own sister in a cage; the Angler Fish, a committee woman type: Nimble Grone, a malaprop of an actress whom they marry off to Teach: Joe the whale who is the continent of Atlantis. Ann's bullying, cowardly leader is the dolphin, guardian of semantic niceties and sufferer of imagined slights. Witty worldly word fun.
