Wannabe Pirates
My dear ol’ mother used to tell me that when you can’t say anything nice about something, don’t say anything at all. However, as anyone who has read my reviews will tell you, that’s one piece of advice I didn’t exactly pick up on. I do, however, usually not say much about a subject when there really isn’t anything to say. Such is the case with this latest item for our review, Wannabe Pirates.
It was family friendly, which was a plus. The art was crisp and clean but seemed a bit stilted and, to be honest, I didn’t really laugh or smile a lot as a read it. Does that mean, however, it was a bad comic? Not at all. It just means that whatever it was that really strikes me as funny wasn’t there.
It’s definitely a comic that will appeal to some tastes and not to others, and so I encourage you to read it for yourself and see what you think.
For me, I give it 3 stars, if for no other reason than being a fairly unique (at least to me) concept, and for the positives noted above.

The Black Book? Shouldn’t that be the Black Spot?
September 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Nah - ’tis an old old joke between our moderator and meself
“Yer in my Black Book!”

In the end, getting a black spot or being in the black book have the same ending. It’s curtains for you.
Thanks for keeping the Doc on the mark, Sly. He’s a tricky one.

I vaguely remember stories about the black spot, but it had nothing to do with my putting you in the Black Book, mister!
And so for you I respond with the ancient Vulcan “Thumb on the nose and waggling fingers” salute.
ha HAH!

I loved that episode where Spock and his Father, along with Saavik, get into all kinds of trouble while doing the “thumb on the nose and waggling fingers” salute. Then Sarek tells Saavik to pick two fingers, and when she does, he pokes her in the eyes with them …
Wait. That might only have been in a dream. Nevermind.

Annnnnd I think Mr. Talekyn needs to have whatever that “special” stuff he puts in his coffee taken AWAY from him…
Good song, El Santo - I think we’re the only two who know where it came from!
Yarrr har har har har
