Description
This piece was inspired by the Douglas Adams novel “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish” (1984). This is the fourth book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Its title is the message left by the dolphins when they departed Planet Earth just before it was demolished to make way for a hyperspatial express route, as described in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The phrase has since been adopted by some science fiction fans as a humorous way to say "goodbye". In the novel, the dolphins left the Earth for an alternate dimension (the event portrayed in today’s rendering), but not before replacing the destroyed Earth with a new version and transporting everyone and everything to it as a way of saving the human species.

Gorgeous image Stan, and thank you soooooo much for the wonderful flashback. Of course So long and thanks for all the fish, was the 4th book of the trilogy. That in itself should help people get an idea of some of the wry wit that Adams was capable of. Douglas Adams had a very special gift in being able to discuss some serious issues in such a fanciful manner that people were learning important facts without even realizing they were being preached to. Anyway Stan, thank you again for this pleasant reminder. Have a wonderful weekend.

Neat image, Stan. So very Douglas Adams, with the dolphins happily showing their rear ends to the planet that nurtured them lol. I've got one also, based on the HGG series. I called it Picnic at the end of the universe. I loved those books. Strangely, not many people these days seem to have read them. They SHOULD.
