Add this unique piece to your collection today. Charlie is always hoping he will be caught by StarKist and used in one of their tuna products. He tries to convince them to catch him by showing off his "good" tastes. However, he never realizes that StarKist is actually looking for tuna that tastes good, not tuna with good taste. This reason is explained by the narrator of the original advertisements, the late Danny Dark - StarKist rejects Charlie by sending him a note attached to a fishing hook that reads "Sorry, Charlie". Some of the advertisements ended with Charlie appeasing the viewers "Tell 'em, Charlie sent you". These advertisements were animated by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises. Cel measures approx: 12" x 10"Charlie measures approx: 2" x 4"
