One Track Mind

So when I was tooling around on Animals have Problems Too, when I saw a guest panel by the author of another webcomic that I (somehow) had never seen before: PIRATE AND ALIEN .

You gotta love a product that really puts its premise right up front like that (and what a premise it is). A pirate captain is getting kicked off of his ship in a terrible mutiny. Meanwhile, many light-years away, an alien is getting ready to go to his first day of work of observing czarist Russia (i shit you not... he's a SCIENTIST), but winds up finding our friend the pirate captain (and his trusty parrot Bartholemew) floating at sea.

Incidentally, this reminds me of a joke of the caliber that my grandfather frequently tells... what do you call a guy with no arms and no legs who is in the middle of the ocean? Bob... Get it? BOB! HAHAHAHA Its a pun on the shortened form of the name Robert, which is a homograph of a verb that means "to move up and down repeatedly", much like an object floating in wavy water might HAHAHAHA. I AM AWESOME

Anyhoo...Alien invites pirate on board, and through some technical SNAFU they wind up in the 21st century and HILARITY ENSUES. It still seems like a relatively new comic, but the artwork is great, and like I said before, its hard to argue with the premise.. Its good to have another solid regular webcomic to add to my rotation of AHPT, QC, and Dinosaur Comics.

I swear this blog is going to be about more than pirates (I do go to Kenya in 5 days, so once I get there I should have a bit more to stimulate me than idle thoughts of loot and plunder). In fact, later today, I may even write about other specialists in violence ... stay tuned!
