"Yeah, the comic started as a movie I shot with a bunch of friends at church. It is hard shooting a pirate movie, period piece in landlocked 21st century Kentucky, but we pulled it off!

You, Spike, are a wealth of pirate jokes."

Mark McCrary left a comment for Roland Mann

"Roland!

Things are going well here in the bluegrass state. Glad to read that things are good for you. You are right-- your daughter does have a set of lungs in her.

I'll try to write some more next week-- I'm trying to finish up with sermon and…"

"That joke is funny! I've always admired those people who could pull off a gag in one panel. I take three or four and they often aren't that funny! Wish I'd thought of it. I think the buck-an-ear will work its way into a strip soon."

"Spike,

Thanks for the good word! It's fun having other people than your kids liking your work (although I'm glad they do!).

Now, about that joke... mind if I use it sometime in a strip? :-)"

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)

To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."

Hey Mark,
It's good to have you here. Thanks for the encouragement on the graphic novel and hope God blesses you richly. Talk to ya soon.

So there was this pirate who was enjoying shore leave in Atlantic City. He hit the bars, got into a fight, vandalized public property, and ended up in the pokey. The judge was reasonable and gave him thirty days community service. The pirate had to replace worn and broken boards on the famous Boardwalk.

That's right, he was condemned to...

... plank the Walk!

My husband is a Navy veteran (as was my late father - when he lived with us, I used to refer to them as "Old Navy"!) Hubby claims to know the short lyrics to the Unites States Navy official march:

"Anchors a-weigh, my boys,
"Five or six tons."

Can see why they're "wannabe" pirates: Louisville is pretty landlocked.

BTW my two favorite pirate painters are Howard Pyle and Don Maitz.

What did the skeleton pirate call his girlfriend? "Me bony lass."

What would happen if Diana Ross became a pirate? She'd be a Cutlass Supreme.

Hey MARK!
Cool to see you here. How's KY treating you? We're back in MS! Up in Oxford this time!

Earring trivia... The Internet is full of reasons why sailors in general wore gold earrings: folk medicine for headaches or eyesight, trophy of some accomplishment, warding off evil spirits, etc. I'm prone to believe the more practical notion that the gold earring was a burial policy. You may have read accounts of how the force of a typhoon is enough to strip the clothing off a body. If a sailor were lost at sea, and if his body were to wash ashore, there would be enough gold permanently attached to his earlobe to pay for a proper burial.

Thank you Mark!
Yes, God has really blessed my comic far more than I expected! Btw, I posted up a few new pictures, and review of the comic in my blog. ;-D
Beloved in Grace,
Souba

Yes, I am flattered that you want to use one of my jokes. My husband and I are a pirate's treasure trove of jokes that are even older and lamer than we are. Now that you have foolishly encouraged me, I will have to come up with even more material. Who knows, some of it may even be... pirated. Yaaarrh!!

Speaking of pirate jokes, many years ago I read a really funny gag panel by Bunny Hoest in "Parade" magazine (the Sunday paper insert.) A pirate captain is talking to his first mate. The captain had an eyepatch, a peg leg, and a hook for a hand. He says something like, "Let me tell you, I put a lot of myself into this job!"
