Puzzle Description:

"Sorry, Charlie. Only good tasting tuna gets to be Star-Kist."

Classic commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Wy_BRFElc

And the history of Charlie Tuna: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvzfc120fso

The whole point of "Sorry, Charlie" was that he didn't measure up to the strict standards of Star-Kist. Of course, those standards have been declining. Look at the tuna from 1962. Look at those chunks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvgEqlFIn2o

Compare that to the last can of tuna you opened.

And NOW, instead of "Sorry Charlie", we have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBsQo6pflHg

Thanks, Charlie, we'll take you now that there's nothing better.

Fabulous puzzle. And thank you for the history. Very interesting.

nice. i thought the bait and switch was going to be to lure us in with a lousy puzzle, but i was very happy to find a very good image!

Awww....poor Charlie. Didn't he used to smoke a cigar?

Don't look now, karl, but your human gene is showing.

I remember those old commercials,I use to love them when I was a kid. Great image Joe.:)

Thanks, everyone.
I remember there were a lot of weird commercials from when I was a kid. I mean, "I wish they'd pick me to get slaughtered." That makes me want to eat tuna.

good one Joe :)

Excellent image and a fun challenge!

Thanks, you two.

He sent me to do the puzzle :)

You may be the first person who actually name-dropped Charlie.

Nice image! Thanks.
