Laughing Fish
March 21, 2011
I’m a huge fan of Batman The Animated Series. Dark, dramatic, and deco, the show undoubtedly raised the bat-bar for television animation. One of my favorite episodes is The Laughing Fish, a darkly screwball story penned by Paul Dini, which features a slew of smiling sea-life that have succumbed to the Joker’s toxic laughing gas. Biological feasibility aside, the result is wonderfully creepy.
Given my fondness for the episode, I thought it would be fun to re-create one of the Joker’s laughing fish as a wall-mounted trophy, sculpted in the animated style. Here are some pictures of the process….

This is awesome Harry! Where did you mount it?
Thanks Ben! I made 2– One is at Justin’s place, and the other is sitting on my desk, haha. I did make a mold though, and am considering doing a run of a few more…
Beautiful, and a fitting tribute to a great episode of a great show (Mark Hamill’s Joker is my favorite from any Batman version, in any medium, but I digress…). If you end up casting a few more of those, I’d pay cash money for one. It’ll go great in the man-cave alongside my other trophies.
Thanks Avi! Will definitely let you know if I end up doing another run =)
this is amazing! how much would you charge if you were to make more?
