Here are a few members of Cap’n Billy’s crew. They may be cute, but they’re still pirates. So watch out.

This is Louis—he just loves to swing through the ship’s rigging, but he keeps getting small cuts on his tongue.

We’re in the last few days of my month of Pirates and this is the first time I’ve drawn the classic parrot on the shoulder. This pirate is rather unhappy that I did so today. Do you know how loud those birds can be?

It’s an epic sword fight between Captain Greybeard and his first mate Happy Jimmy (who isn’t so happy these days.) Who do you think will win?

In the years that followed, Bart considered this the pivotal moment in his decision to quit pirating and become an Olympic swimmer.
