Hahaha.. Excellent, Torplexed. You should definitely do more.

Came to think on a comic like that it'd be neat if the skull on the captain's hat would change it's expressions depending on the situation

It's better than 90% of the stuff I read in the newspaper. I've said it before, I'll say it again: get an agent and get syndicated. Pirates are really popular subject matter, there isn’t a nationally syndicated pirate strip, you know the material very well, you have wit and skill….. You are missing your claim to fame, Craig.

Not to lay thickly, but I agree. At this point, Craig, all that you truly need is a comedic agle, such as the ID-dominant humor in Dilbert, or the masterfully-done extistentialism of Calvin and Hobbes. You are very close to having something here.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Actually I did try to get it syndicated years ago but no one was interested. They seem to feel it was too derivative of what was already out there. Been a long time since I tried drawing these characters anyway.

Used to be more but all I can still find are some old ink studies.

There are only nine pins in the last comic...

Could this be subliminal messaging of some kind?:hmm:
