Back in the day, and even now, I don't see Blipper the fish with a diving mask. Never did and still really don't unless it's turned frontwise. What do I see? A pirate fish!
The top part is a bandanna, the caudal fins are the tied tails, the elastic band is an eye patch, and the mask is ... a fish snout? I dunno. It's how I sees it. And always shall.
Intended for Talk Like a Pirate Day.

It can be pretty fun to make interpretations out of sprites for older games (heck, Starmen.Net even had a community project devoted to interpretation a while ago). I like the way you depicted it over on the right -- it's very easy to see what you thought of.
I thought the same thing, though I'd say the game that confused me the most when it came to unclear sprites was Super Mario RPG. Belome STILL confuses me, even after seeing his official artwork.
You think that's something? I always thought Flotzo was a diglett! lol, thats pretty funny. I never looked at Blipper that way, and now I'll never be able to look at him as the scuba-fish again!
