The trouble with Ishigan Fishigan! (1971)
You might remember a while back (8 days ago), I discussed that there really was an Ishigan Fishigan.
Reading from a 1971 hobby magazine, there was mix-up then too. Apparently, many believed Rishigan was actually Ishigan (and they were right - just in case you missed it, Rishigan really was Ishigan the very first time he was mentioned. It changed after the episode in which he debuted.) But it's funny to look back some 42 years later and see that the same confusion existed back then, except, no one was audibly diligent enough (it seems) to be able to pick up on the "trouble":

Wait...there really was an ISHIGAN Fishigan
If you have read all of the articles I've uncovered (and I have) you will come across the name Ishigan Fishigan as well as Rishigan Fishigan.
You may, like me, think this was an error but in fact, it's not an error at all. At least, not really.
Let me explain to you what I feel has happened. We are fortunate enough to have the first episode where either one of these "men" were mentioned. It just so happens to be 41-12-12 Mr. Buller's Christmas Gifts (the episode where Sade has been chosen to buy 34 Christmas gifts for Mr. Buller for $20.00.) In this episode, the name ISHIGAN Fishigan is used TWICE. I have listened to it several times and I am sure the name here is ISHIGAN.
But that obviously changed sometime after this and the name RISHIGAN replaced ISHIGAN. It is as simple as that.

Stories of Gumpox and Rishigan Fishigan often confused
EVEN IN THE METICULOUS NOTES, stories about Mr. Gumpox and Rishigan Fishigan are often reversed.
Why this is is beyond my knowledge. I can see how they could be confused but even information from AUDIO episodes is somehow confused - so I know there was a confusion somewhere.
For instance, there is a story told by Clarence Hartzell - who when the stories were recorded, must have been close to 80 years old - seems to confuse Gumpox and Rishigan Fishigan, when he tells about a bed hopping across the floor when a long train went by - the longer the train, the farther the bed went.
This story is actually about Rish Fish but Hartzell audibly told it as a Gumpox story.
And some Hank Gutstop stories are attributed to Gumpox, even though they are from audio episodes.
Examine the notes I was given:
This is not a knock on the notes, as I am VERY appreciative of them! But I am just pointing out that this much information is hard to keep track of (trust me, you would not believe how hard it is.)

Why the stairs were removed in the Bright KY Hotel penthouse
You may remember the episode where Rishigan Fishigan married Jayne Payne. Well come to find out, he lived in the penthouse. He did shimmy up the drainpipe to his room.
The stairs were removed because they were either struck by a train or were removed because management was afraid the stairs would be struck by a train.
Either way, you'll have to admit, that's pretty funny!
