Victor and I are fans of various pirate-themed things, and as we parody swashbuckling tropes in this chapter, we’re not afraid to drop references to some of our inspirations. Can you spot them?
Skaervs, that would have worked better with saloon doors than metal ones… Try it in a cliched Western town and see if that gets you better results. *pat*
He could have kicked in the door, but- no. That’s Blank’s thing.
I see: Rattle Battle and Jib Jig.
Silly Skarva, pirates aren’t evil, they’re chaotic-neutral.
And I think I realized what it was that I about the art that I mentioned liking in the previous page. The backgrounds seem to be more detailed, and I think the slanted perspective of them gives the sense of motion.
Yep! Jib Jig is an annual dance and Rattle Battle is a band. In this town, anyway!
Thanks! I’ve been putting a lot of effort into the backgrounds lately. It’s been one of my big goals for improvement lately. I’ve also been looking forward to the pirate arc forever, and we’ve got one shot, so I’m gonna give it my all! Still got my work cut out for me when I have to draw ships, though…
Panel one reminds me of Team Rocket.
And the muscular lurkin. So much yes.
Maybe that’s why Derk looks a bit disturbed in the last panel. “Oh crap, I’m not the beefiest person around for once…”
Is that black-and-red pride I see? That’s a new one.
Wait… HAM NITE
i understand that reference
I get it too!
Good movie! Silly, but fun.
Hey, hey, Doors. . . Say bang all the time. So weird.
Anyway. . . Looks back at article*
The only person who looks like a pirate is the guy at the right end of the table, third to last in both panels.
You don’t think the Lurkins do? Not the one with the feathered hat?
I need more parrots I guess…
How dare power outages keep me from your comic!
Other than that, great comic as a- ARE THOSE LIZARD PEOPLE?
THANK YOU. I’ve been amazed that no one has mentioned the freaking brand-new species all day.
But they’re not lizards!
they look sort of amphibious, with what i am guessing are their tails.
How does one NOT mention a new species? Quite the elephant in the room we have here. I also agree with you, zthewise, I just was breaking the ice and too much OBLIVION.
I know, I was gawking at that the second I hit panel 4, lol.
I ONLY SEE ONE EYEPATCH
and no parrots
these must be fake pirat-oh wait, are those LIZARD PEOPLE?????
I need to know moreeeeeeeeee
I’m just kidding, these pirates look awesome. I seriously need more close-ups of the lizard people tho, they look so cool.
Great work! THe backgrounds in particular are looking absolutely amazing!
Well the guy on the far left, as to the viewer, has-
oh I forgot to draw it in the latter panel.
Oh.
I’m glad you helped me notice that. ^_^;
You’ll get your closeups soon! And parrots too, probably.

Well, at least Cyril looks suitably astounded…:D
The site doesn’t like you as much as we do.
It appears to be an indecisive old thing…now it’s fine.
Hello, new species that looks adorable! Hello, poor failing Skaervs! *pats* …Hello, incredibly derpy Cyril face in the last panel!
WHEE new species! They look cool, kind of like something between tadpoles and frogs. Maybe newts or salamanders with fishy tails. Something about the side view of them reminds me of Kermit the Frog.
You know, now you’re going to have to ask everyone all over again what race they’d be in Idenau.
Poor Skaerva. Not everyone’s as immediately impressed with you as there should be, huh?
And I reeeally like the design of that ponytailed pirate Lurkin girl; she’s awesome. MAKE HER SHOW UP AGAIN PLEASE!
Popeye Lurkin is funny too.
Or wait, that’s not a ponytail, that’s a feathered hat . . . its hard to tell from this distance, lol. I need a bigger screen.
yickdoo spirit, captcha? Really?
To be fair! She still has a ponytail under that hat, but you can’t really see it.
EVEN BETTER really.
OH GOOD, i wasn’t the only one who thought of Kermit… XD
Skaervs needs more respect…
AND AGREEING. The pirate Lurkins are my favorite so far.
The buff Lurkin Pirate reminds me of Popeye the sailor. It’s the boat tattoo.
Captcha: the openham
I better go pick out a dress for Jib Jig.
Poor Cyril, he’s so new to the villain game.
I am very excited for ham nite. No week would be complete without it.
