Walter The Whale
Walter the Whale was a star killer whale (orca) when keeping orcas in captivity had just begun. At that time, following the death of Namu, the only other established star orca was Shamu. "Walter the Whale" was the orca's advertised name at first, but later she was renamed Skana. Walter was captured from K Pod of the Southern Resident Killer Whales by Ted Griffin, and shipped to the Seattle Public Aquarium. Soon the orca was trucked to Vancouver in a rental arrangement with boat show producer Bob O'Loughlin. At the 1967 Vancouver Boat Show at the PNE (Pacific National Exhibition) grounds, "a star was born by the name of Walter and the attraction helped the show...to an attendance record of more than 100,000." Walter "delighted...a legion of killer-whale watchers" and "made a lot of friends...among that group of men whose business is selling boats." Curiosity "about the background of killer whales" made the whale "the show's biggest draw." When the Boat Show ended, the Vancouv ...

''Walter'' is a comic strip in the series '' The spiffy adventures of McConey'' (''Les formidables aventures de Lapinot'' in the original French language), by the popular French cartoonist Lewis Trondheim. It was released in 1996 as volume 3 in the series. An English translation, titled ''Harum Scarum'', was released in 1998.

This volume is often considered by fans to be one of the funniest and strongest in the series. Plot This volume is set in a stock historical setting: Paris in the late 19th century. Although it uses the same main characters (Lapinot, Richard, Titi) and gives them the same type of personality, this story bears no relation to the continuing storyline of the volumes taking place in modern Paris. The plot mixes the mystery, horror, and science fiction Science fiction (sometimes shor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
