TODAY is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!

Today's Inspirational Pirate Quote:

"We, the undersigned, are men without a country. Outlaws in our own land and homeless outcasts in any other. Desperate men, we go to seek a desperate fortune. Therefore, we do, here and now, band ourselves into a brotherhood of buccaneers... to practice the trade of piracy on the high seas..."
"Captain Blood" (Errol Flynn)

Vote for the Pirates

The crew at Pirate Eye comics have one week and need your help. They are in the heat of the ZUDAcomics.com contest sponsored for the month of April by DC Comics.

Pirate Eye is a nice little strip. Mixing two great genres, it's the story of a pirate named Smitty who is a a private detective with a talent for solving mysteries for a fee. What he doesn't know is that the case he's embarked on – to locate some ointment! – will lead him to the center of an ancient mystery involving Plato, Sparta, immortal pirate lords, Atlantis, The Fountain of Youth, and a weapon with the power to destroy the known world.

For more about the comic, the competition - and a little pirate-talk contest they're running through April 30...
