A whale will swim 100 miles for a good tickle. Fact.

Ah, ’tis the Prince of Whales.

A whale of a tale, no doubt.
Welcome to the Ocean planet! Our planetary Hat is Polynesia! Dress accordingly.

Cachalot! Cachalot! Cachalot! It’s only a model.

Are those exposed brains ripe for tagging? Or just funny hats?

A law was made a distant moon ago here:
The women must wear skirts and all be hot.
And there’s a legal limit to the catch here
In Cachalot.
Cachalot! Cachalot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre …
Especially if it’s pronounced Cah-SHAH-low, in which case I’m screwed.

Sneak peak of the Olympic closing ceremony. Spoiler alert: things do not go well for the whale.

@FB: It’s nice to see women getting to compete with men, even if they have to settle for silver and bronze.

I love these direct to VHS sequels! Free Willy in space!

“Cachalot!”
“Gesundheit!” *hands over handkerchief*

Whale: “Who wantsa “free willy”?

Give Maroto credit for not conveniently obscuring the feet in some cheesy green fog or ocean spray.

‘In one book, CACHALOT, just for my own amusement, every character is based directly on someone I have known.’

On second thoughts, let’s not go to Cachalot – it is a silly place…

A grittier cover, with a blurb suggesting dangerous mystery: https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1266639181i/939565._UY630_SR1200,630_.jpg
(Did the butler do it? Or the whale?)

“I thought I asked you guys to feed that parking meter while I had lunch. I was just issued another cetacean citation. Thanks a lot!”

If the book’s title is another word for sperm whale, why is the whale on the cover some type of baleen whale?

I like the idea of the future SeaWorld whale trainers wearing Roman toga-like outfits.

Giant jumping whale, kooky costumes and a cover artist who can actually draw feet distracted y’all from noticing that outta place font that is more likely to be seen in a never ending Scholastic unicorn series…
