An artist named Mario Dubsky worked from the late 1960s to the early
1980s when he passed away.  I haven't seen a reference to this print. 
But perhaps the name will help to lead you or someone else to the
answer.

I've been looking at a bunch of Mario Dubsky's stuff online, and he
just doesn't seem to be the right artist given what you've described. 
Dubsky was one of the group of 1970s/1980s gay male artists, and his
works are generally photos, drawings, and montages that portray gay
men (somewhat explicitly, sometimes).  I just can't see a fish on
stilts with a flamingo being quite his style.

"In the years immediately after Stonewall, a sense of exultation and
liberation stimulated artists to create many different types of works,
recording and celebrating diverse aspects of gay communities and
relationships. Agit Prop (1971), a forty-foot-long, collage mural
created by John Burton and Mario Dubsky in the "Firehouse" (the Gay
Artists Alliance Building in New York City) is generally acknowledged
to be the first monumental, group image of the newly liberated gay
community. Combining photographs of gay protests with images of
African-American political leaders and other cultural heroes, Burton
and Dubsky visualized the hope for an egalitarian and just society."
