The reason I don’t like iApple is because for the entire time I was in school, the schools had iApple computers we had an IBM at home. The IBM was consistently better at everything than the school computers. Even when the school got the newest high-tech colours of iMac and I still had a 5 year old IBM.
Homework? IBM. Internet? IBM. Games? <a href=“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjpn3L3bSJQ“> Photoshop isn’t a game, mac. </a>

Remember these guys? when I originally made these comics (and had my own website), I was updating regularly. Also, I really needed to emphasise how long the characters were stuck in that boat. So we had a commercial break.
I think I also installed some minor computer upgrades around this time.

We…we are main characters… right?

Don’t mess with someone who is wiling to blast one of your NPCs as a warning shot. It probably means they’re a main character and not afraid of you.

You CAN drink lake ontario water… but you probably shouldn’t. You might have fared better hundreds of years ago when it was cleaner.

He still thinks it was a good trade. He’s a terrible pirate.

So there we were at Pennsic many moons ago, a conglomerate of Vikings and pirates, inexplicably armed with laser swords, wandering around when we come upon a ship! Someone had an awesome camp gate that looked like a pirate ship. So we begin the raid and the defenders respond with rum. They trade Darth-tagnan’s sword for a bottle of good rum. The still believes it was a good trade. I’m not sure what happened to our other companion, but in the end, we had no ship and fewer swords.
Later, we found out that another camp armed with lightsabers did manage to raid the ship. That comes up again later.

The first panel used up everything I actually know about pirates. The last panel proves that there is no joke too lame for Vindalf.
Around this time, I think @lledra showed me how to use the colour options in photoshop. It would be some time before I got around to applying it to the main character. I envision Vindalf wearing a Norman style helmet and chainmail. How does one draw chainmail? (spoilers: I figure it out around issue 237.)

Darth-tagnan is technically a privateer. He’s a pirate who pays his taxes. This is totally different from a Pirate who does not. Both raid ships for the treasure and for the fun of it.

“So, Sarge, the plan before that was to walk around the inland sea and not like, swim it. Right?”
Toronto is located almost exactly half way along the north shore of lake Ontario. I know this because both border crossings are about the same distance to drive when going to Pennsic. The exact middle is somewhere around Scarorough, as Ajax is slightly closer to the Kingston bridge, and North York closer to Niagara Falls. I used to drive to Pennsylvania a lot, so I found out exactly how long it took either way.
