I don’t have much to say today 
Have a great weekend, guys! Enjoy this on-time comic… it seems like I’m catching up on life. For now!
EDIT: Oh I thought of something to say – so how about that Zelda tomorrow, huh? How cool is it they made a direct sequel to A Link to the Past? Me and Victor were playing that game together in the earliest days of planning the comic, and the Temple of Terror was inspired by it quite directly.
Night skies! Blarg-mouthed cave! Blarg-mouthed Goldie! Unfettered exclamation!
On a side note, I’d like to see the last Pokemon in your friend safari if you have time.
I would gladly… Although I have no idea what you mean by that, hah. I still haven’t beaten the Elite Four because I’ve been distracted by lawyers.
Yo dawg, I heard you liked sailing, so I built a ship on your mast so you can sail on your sail
It’s a ship sandwich!
Haha Oh Cyril. Lost History and priceless artifacts aren’t as important as Treasure! When will you learn?
I know, right? What a nerd!
I think this is the first time Goldgills has made an expression so crazy it broke his face.
Oh no. I think it’s stuck like that…
love skarvas expression
He’s totally proud of himself for splooshing up an entire island. And Goldie thought he couldn’t do it.
I actually laughed for a solid few minutes; thanks guys! I needed that!
Silly bard, history is for nerds.
…and I keep misreading “Goldgills” as “Google”.
Goldgills, the piratical treasure-search engine! Be feelin’ lucky, mate?
FACT: It’s not a pirate’s treasure stash if it doesn’t have at least one boulder or cliff face that looks like a skull.
exACTLY.
I just… LOVE the last panel.
Skærva’s got his game face on. The gods have been warned.
There’s no stopping him now.
I love Skaerva’s expression – he looks mightily pleased with himself. I am looking forward to seeing them explore the island!
I’m looking forward to drawing it! Although I fear it will be as challenging for me as it is for them…
Ahahahha! Great page!
Thank you!
Love their expressions. It’s awesome. I can’t wait to see what horrors they face, and what horrors they bring, inside that cave…
there were horrors, but they starved because nobody came for so long…
“That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.”
That’s probably just something a really good liar said.
Jeez, I am so tired, I thought Skärva rose a giant snail from the sea… Then I focused a bit. I need to sleep more, dumb work.
Well, it WAS going to turn out to actually be a giant snail, but you foiled our plot twist!
Cast page update when?
Probably not anytime soon. We decided not to put the Captain or Commodore on the cast page to avoid spoiling new readers on the pirate arc. Poor things, does this mean they are officially less important than Mr. The Wizard? So it goes…
No-one is more important than Mr. The Wizard!
Well, aside from Skärva, and Lorelei, and Derk — and Blank, and Princess Veronika, and Ecta, and Davis, and Slice, and … *fades off, still listing*
(I ended up checking on Veronika’s name; I’m currently playing Thief Gold (having previously only played the original version), and had Viktoria’s name stuck in my head. ^^; )
Ooh, that first panel is really lovely! The soft shading and texture of the island and sky and the lighting of the island — the tall building especially — all work very well, I feel. ^_^
If I may offer critique, the only thing that I’m inclined to mention is that the hard shading of the sea feels to me a little at odds with the otherwise soft shading of most of the rest of the scene; perhaps a softer technique might have made for a more cohesive whole?
As I believe that I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I’m currently playing Thief Gold (the Thief series is an old favourite of mine), so I’m almost tempted to side with the good captain; I have the urge to sneak through the caverns, stealing everything not nailed down, then disappearing with only the lack of clues (and, I’ll confess, some guards with nasty headaches ^^; ) as sign of who was responsible…
I don’t suppose that we would likely manage to convince the parties here to split the difference and swipe all the treasure to be sold to various museums, thus both gaining treasure -and- serving history?
