I like the wider layout. But since you insist on this silly fish, do you think you should include a tagline as GG suggested the other day? It's a little confusing.
Perhaps resembles a long lost friend of Frog and Toad (as in "Frog and Toad are Friends"). Maybe less detail, simpler lines and I agree, original artwork that you can copyright.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

YES! A thousand times YES!
It reminds me too much of Mr. Peanut.
Capital idea!
Sally - Are you sure you aren't just experiencing a case of peanut envy?
Hee, hee. Very clever.

Fish lips meets mr chips while eating peanuts...not that my say counts but come on you can do better
Sally's right, too derivative of Mr. Peanut. But you're on the right track.
If you're serious about this, I would suggest an original design.
But it's definitely taking shape...
I like this
Tagline?
"People need socialism like a fish needs a monocle"
I like it!
Like fish, socialism does not get better with age?
He looks like "The Incredible Mr. Limpet."
