Comments: The basic idea derives from U$68 Hall of the Mermaid Queen from 1967. The title (it was originally called Makings of a Fish Story without The in front) must have seemed a little vague to the otherwise very inventive Barks, so he later tried to have the title changed to No One Will Ever Believe This - but to no avail.
