. . . a blue whale being launched into space. It may have been titled something like Water World, because if you're sending a rocket ship to a planet completely covered with water, you can't go wrong by crewing it with whales. COUNT DOWN CLOWN preceded Water World by a few decades, being released at a time when cats and dogs, toads and frogs, law firms and meal worms made up most of the crews hurtling toward distant orbs. Our Moon is littered with Soviet guys and nesting dolls, secretly dispatched there with one-way tickets in hopes of claiming our lunar partner for Mother Russia. However, the Marquis of Queens Berry established rules that moon expeditions had to be round trips, and he was backed up by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Cosmonauts (aka, the S. P. C. C.). During COUNT DOWN CLOWN, Loopy is shown more respect than the average cosmonaut was in the U. S. S. R.
