I understand both the point of the cartoon and the joke.
Still, it wonders me which of those fingered fish cut down the tree and crafted the nice, round table (and the tools needed to do that), raised and separated the flax fiber used to make the table cloth and turban (and wove it after building the loom), mined the gold for the stand and then melted and cast it (first making the casting mold of whatever material), and either derived the glass or found, formed and polished the huge clear jewel (or maybe it’s a pearl?) that is the globe.
Those seem to be some very sophisticated and intelligent fish.
