Here we have another comical episode with the Kingfish starring front and center. Somehow he finds himself at an employment agency taking a series of aptitude tests along with another man he does not know. Somehow the names of the test-takers get mixed-up and Kingfish is pegged as a very good artist and he is promised a job making $100 a week as a commercial artist if he will take a few weeks and practice his art skills and techniques. Well,our man doesn't disappoint,he indeed practices away at his painting to good comic effect,the artwork is funny indeed!

Kingfish TRIES to make good.

Warning: Spoilers
When the story begins, Kingfish is feeling low. After all, he cannot hold down a job and he feels like a failure. So, in desperation he goes to an agency that will assess his skills and help him figure out the perfect job for his talents. Not surprisingly, he does terribly at the tests....but the folks accidentally switch his results with a very smart guy's. As a result, they tell him to be an artist. Unfortunately, his art looks like that done by a four year-old. What's next?
This is an okay episode...but also kind of sad, as Kingfish really is dumb and without discernable skills (apart from lying)...and when the episode was over, I felt a bit sad about it. Funny? Not exactly...especially since he IS trying to do good but is so incredibly inept...but still worth seeing.
