And poor Puff never frolicked in the autumn mist again.

Ok, this one is bleak.

For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puff,_the_Magic_Dragon

"And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

And brought him strings, and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea

And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail

Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name…" by Peter, Paul and Mary

“Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane”

My favorite rendition. OAM Trio - Puff the Magic Dragon.

There have been a number of major oil spills along the US coastline through the decades.

The most recent major spill before this cartoon from 1993 was the Exxon Valdez spill off Alaska in 1989

That was the largest domestic US oil spill until the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010

Here’s a NY Times video looking back at what happened from 2013
