Mystery Island 34
a webcomic, by Matt S. Law
Poor John. It's not easy being a pirate. People make assumptions about your character.
I don't understand Hollywood's weird fascination with pirates. They sail around killing people and taking their stuff. How did they become the romantic anti-heroes?
Actually, Fantomah doesn't know a lot about the world. She's the guardian of Africa and it is unclear if that responsibility extends to the coastlines of Africa. If it does, then most of her pirate experience would be dealing with Somali pirates. Of course, most of those have resettled in Minnesota now, so again, she probably hasn't had many run-ins lately.
Gold necklace with a blue topaz stone. Really accents her hair and her eyes. Yes, he's a pirate, but c'mon, that's a pretty thoughtful gift, right?
Maybe this is the beginning of a serious romance? Robert Louis Stevenson is rolling over in his grave right now.
Boilerplate:
The Real Superheroines of Hive Valley is a webcomic about a reality television show following the lives of seven public domain superheroines that all live together in the same mansion in the elite community of Hive Valley.

Created in Clip Studio Paint Pro on my mobile art studio which is a Microsoft Surface Pro 7+. Here is the timelapse video with bonus animation sequence.
Pirates in movies = good
Pirating movies = bad
It's so confusing. Maybe he is the good type.
!LOLZ
If pirates = good, then space pirates = better!
That reminds me, I need to re-watch Ice Pirates and see if it still stands up.
I'm not sure if I've seen that one. From the trailer it looks like a Spaceballs rip-off.
Ummm, Spaceballs was a spoof
Ice Pirates was completely serious, seriously funny. And came out before Spaceballs.
No, Ice Pirates doesn't stand up, yet, it is still a good watch.
And, if they never actually sell you anything, is it truly pirating?
I didn't check the dates. I'm not sure I'd even heard of Ice Pirates so maybe it didn't make it to the UK. There were a lot of corny movies around that time, but some like Star Wars still stand up.
It is freaky how well Star Wars stands up!
And, i would like to ponder, how much of that is because it is a GREAT story.
One of the first anime i watched is Ranma ½, and it still stands up. The animation is still good. Not top notch animation like Akira, but very good, simple animation. And the story is still excellent.
Story is vital, but Star Wars also pushed the technology to its limits to build a believable universe. Some of the movies and shows have been less great, but it's still compelling.
