I absolutely adore this article so I wanted to make some fanart of it! The article's text can be found in the alt text. (2025) #onewetsmack #kissinggouramis
Hand-drawn fanart of newspaper The Winnipeg Tribune's November 11, 1933 issue depicting two kissing gouramis swimming in a pastel sea. Their lips are locked together with hearts in their eyes. The article reads: One Wet Smack! After 17 days, Sam Dunton, official photographer of New York's aquarium, has the goods on Cha and Hotcha, the kissing gouramis. And are they in deep water! The scandalous goings-on were revealed when the two small fish, newly arrived from Holland, were placed on exhibition. First a woman tittered. Then a little boy said: "Hey, Ma, just like Mae West." But when Sam Dunton decided to snap the loving pair for the aquarium publication, Cha and Hotcha didn't bite. That is - not for 17 days - until Mr. Dunton caught them making up on a big scale after a lover's quarrel, as shown above.
