Ok, I've been slightly influenced by a prior question on this one - thanks to the original poster ;-)
And if this is kind of outside the rules, apologies and I'll reset if necessary.

Where in the canon do we see the fish of Maui?
I'm looking for three examples. Book and page as usual.

Good luck

We see the fish of Maui (Te Ika-a-Māui, North Island of New Zealand) on page 18 and 23 of Explorers on the Moon. On page 23 it is shown in the big frame that takes up two thirds of the page, and then we see it again in the last frame of the page.

EDIT: my post was written during Borschtisov's posting.

Sorry to say, but I don't understand what "the fish of Maui" (Te Ika a Maui) is supposed to be in the books. Never heard of it before so I did a picture search on Google and it showed various real fish and some fictious ones. Do you mean some sort of real fish or something that sort of looks like a part of New Zealand geography?

I totally lost here.

That'll do!

You could also have had page 26 and the front cover.

I was thinking about Tuhatkauno's "Something Finnish" and studying the blow-up of On A Marche Sur La Lune hanging on my living room wall when it came to me.

Well done, Borschitsov. I see you have to be quick these days. Over to you.
