Bored? Help me find the drumming octopus again!

snakeyez · 10-03-08, 05:03 PM

Many months ago I stumbled across a great drawing of the drumming octopus of USS Drum fame. I didn't bookmark or save it. Now I'm going crazy trying to find it again. I'm hoping it's still out there on the 'net somewhere. I have no clue what I was looking for at the time nor what keywords or search engine I was using.

Since then I've tried many word/image searches on multiple search engines.

If I remember correctly, it is the EXACT same image of the drumming octopus on the back of my t-shirt:

It was originally a Walt Disney design for the USS Drum (SS-228) in WWII. I'm trying mainly to find a good, large, clean version of this emblem. Then it will be on to getting permission to use the image...

So everyone, if you get bored, help me out. I'm losing my mind trying to find that drumming octopus again!

Try Google Image search instead of web.

Not knowing what the name of the image was will really make it hard.
