ahoy-matey!

After last week’s comic, I feel like I need to demonstrate that I’m not a total pansy.
Step one, take some pirates. Step two, some LEGO. Step three, some simple, digital photography with word balloons. Now mix it all together with heaping amounts of wit. Then add more wit. Now, get yourself a yeti, travel through time, and … you still don’t have a hook for a hand.
So The Adventures of Captain Jibidy & Pillaging Pete certainly passes the I wish I’d thought of that first test, the highest award that can be bestowed upon cleverness. That includes, but is not limited to, being collected under the domain name ahoy-matey.com.
I’ll try not to spoil the plot lines, but the mind of Dwain Smith is a funny, funny place. he describes it like this: “[Cap'n] Jibidy gets kidnapped by evil scientists (and, um, Vikings). Howard the Android and Jake Venture organized a rescue party but are now also in the clutches of the evil Viking-tists. Er, Scien-kings. Whatever. Read the comic!”
This is the sort of thing that proves to me the redemptive value of the Internet. And humanity. Is that hyperbole? Your comments are welcome, but you have to read the comic first. And again, start at the beginning because if you don’t get the plot line(s) you’ll be tempted to dismiss it as fun with LEGOs.
It is also worth noting that Dwain Smith is also the force behind Eavesdrop DC, the local entry in the series of overheard catalogs. He also wrote a book called The Junk Whisperer or, Things Tequila Taught me which you can download for free in .pdf format.
Also note that today, September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day … just like it is every year.
So, Arr to ye!
