About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

The pirates adopted him from a pound already like that; also note the pirate hook for a tail, haha.
Eye patch as well.
He's just in rough shape all around. If he came that way from the pound, maybe those pirates are a bunch of softies after all..
That's my head... cannon! ;)
It's a corgi, so I think those peglegs are serving more as platform shoes than prosthetic legs.
Being a dog, he is that much more likely to charge into danger to save his human. With cannon balls flying around, that carries a certain risk.
I had a dog that recognized several spelled out words. Walk, ride, outside, food, ball. Probably some others I don't remember anymore. It's amazing how smart and clever some dogs are.
They pick up on so many cues. It's amazing. My dog knows we're going on a trip without her when she sees us bust out the luggage.
We have to change our word/phrase/spelling for walk every year or so with our dogs. It’s currently called “going on an adventure”.
Fun fact: there was apparently no such thing as "walking the plank". And when you think about it, it would be pretty stupid to have the ship's carpenter rig up a platform when you could just have the victim jump off the side and accomplish the same thing. There was a punishment known as "walking the yard" where the recipient was forced to climb a mast and then walk out on one of the yardarms (the cross-pieces that held the sails) into the sea. It wasn't automatically fatal, although the chance of that depended on which yardarm they made you walk - the topmost ones were pretty damn high up.
I know once you reach a certain height hitting water is like kitting concrete. But even from the tallest of masts I would think it’s the drowning that kills you, rather than the impact. So again I’d still think why bother making them climb when you could just push them overboard from the deck.
I assume many people fell to the deck before they managed to get out above the water.
