This jolly fellow's grog mug is textured using an image of a wooden floor that I use in a later panel. Grog is actually water with a bit of rum in it to kill bacteria. So holy grog is holy water with rum in it. The word balloons in this panel are so big because they have to cover up a phone booth. This background is from the Queen Anne, I think. I love the concept of a swabbie putting up "slippery when wet" signs on a pirate ship. My friend Zonk pointed out that the person in the background has been unwittingly damned to hell for appearing in this comic. Poor swabbie.

I don't think topwebcomics is sending all that much traffic this way. Despite Pirate Jesus being in the top 40 (as of this writing). I can't really afford to advertise anywhere at the moment either. If I get some more readers, I'd like to start updating three times a week. I certainly am far enough ahead of my update schedule to be able to pull that off, but I don't want to rush through the comic before many people get to actually read it. I'd like to thank all my friends for being loyal readers, and for voting for my comic. This week's voting incentive is a much more hardcore desktop background.
