Well, shit.
I’ve seen enough hentai to see where this is going
Damn. You beat me to the quip.
Nonono, obviously this is a Pirates of the Caribbean parody series. I mean, just LOOK at the background. DAYTIME! Therefore, no hentai.
Admittedly, if I weren’t already into Guilded Age, this cover would have pulled me right in.
I have to admit, it really does seem to sucker me in.
This is just spect-tentacular.
… What? I’m an actor! I don’t have time to think of good puns like the rest of you dorks.
Ah, it ain’t that bad. I’m kraken up over here.
Well, I have to admit I admire good writhing like this enough that I couldn’t squirm out of reading this chapter if I tried.
The conStrict attention to detail in the art really pulls me in. Not to mention the plot twists.
i always enjoy the squid pro quo of the pun thread on this site
I never figured that Phil would love crafting these kinds of stories.
I su-shi what you’re doing there.
The question is, who would calamari band of adventurers across the sea? Are they conchious of the effort it takes to get em all over there?
I’ll butter him up, you go find the hibachi.
Who’s going for the dip?
This is going to be a fishy chapter, yet I’m squirming with anticipation!
I ink I agree with you.
I had an inkling there would be puns.
Doesn’t really matter how little wiggle there is, we’ll manage to squeeze some puns out of it.
Wiggle room* :P When we getting an edit button?
You krakt me up.
Hopefully they can make enough money to afford the proper sea horse mount.

About to get Chathulued
Did you just reference Cthulu?
I think it was Chathu. Ai, ai, Chathu gtafn!
Chathu, the “special” member of the Elder God family.
Chathu always wanted to inspire fear, terror, madness, and confusion like the rest of the mad gods. Unfortunately, all he ever managed to inspire were puns. :(
Yeah, Cthulu cthucks.
I find myself wondering if the misspellings of “Cthulhu” are some sort of metahumour based upon said being’s allegedly incomprehensible nature…
… but that would probably be giving you profligates too much credit.
Leaping labrats!
“What lies beneath… Their psyche. Starring special guest star, Fantasy Sigmund Freud!”
Sometimes a tentacle is just a tentacle.
LIES!!!
Did someone just promise sex and videotape?
That tentacle is just the tip of the Krakenberg.
No more kraken jokes!
It’s greasy squid stuff.
Mine was like the 4th or 5th comment I’ll have you know. Everyone else is totally ripping *me* off.
hey, if we want a fish pun from you, mollusk you for one!
Hey! Jean-Luc, zero just threatened you with mollusk-ation! Keep your hand over your drink, buddy!
Oh yeah? Well, I’ll just have to squid, shellfish, sea…weed…something… Fuck!
Oyster now you start running out of puns, after carping about who stole what. Eel have you know that you’ve been schooled. 8D
You jelly….fish?
I guess he’s just tired of people muscling in on his territory. He’s angling to keep all the puns to himself which is shellfish of him IMO. You gotta stop being so crabby man and let the puns flow free so the rest of us can make a splash. Either that or Zero will krill ya.
I sea what you did there.
This chapter looks sea worthy
Seems like the storyline will be deep.
I hope their skills are up to scale!
Boat I think we may want to wait and sea if it’s worth it’s salt. Water we gonna do if it ain’t ship shape?
We’ll just have to deploy the escape cephalopods to find reprieve from its inky depths. It’s either that or we’re all wet.
No, seriously, I am not squidding you.
Oh sure, octopussy out while the real men go down with the ship. To the depths with you ya shellfish bastards! ‘Eel be fighting the good fight up here while you flounder about uselessly waiting for rescue.
I beat all of you, with a song.
Nauticool girl, nauticool. Phoning in your puns like that. Hawk has lobster punning license.
I’m kidding, I just really wanted to use that lobster one ;)
Yabby right – it was a good one.
Not exactly shrimping on the puns yourself ;)
Tachyon
“We’ll just have to deploy the escape cephalopods ”
Nautilus we all agree!
AWAKEN! AWAKEN! Take the land that must be taken!
Awesome reference, but that’s about a lake troll, not a squid/kraken. but I still have to look that bit up…
“We got the lyrics from your own country’s book of necromantic spells!”
Deep Ones.
Why did it have to be Deep Ones?
Because we already had a chapter with The Shallow One.
He’ll be here all week! Tip your waitress!
Okay so… the last chapter ended on a kissing in a science lab, and this one starts with tentacles…
Who knew Syr’Nj was into those kinks?
“As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
She blinded me with SCIENCE!
SCIENCE!”
Roots. Tentacles. All the same, right?
Please don’t let this have anything to do with hentai! The team banding together to fight a kraken, awesome!
Why not both? The team could band together to defeat the kraken via sexual exhaustion.
What Best Would Do.
I resisted one post up, but must here mention Oglaf’s:
“That’s right! Swirling clouds of ink to confuse my enemies!”
“…How long do you think the confusion lasts?”
Mmm, calamari. Alright guys, we’re going to need five hundred barrels of butter and an orchard worth of lemons! This thing isn’t going to kill and cook itself!
And just realized I missed the easy pun of “Let’s get kraken”
Gods I suck at this game.
Better late than never. For the quality of the pun though, I tip my pointed hat to you sir.
Cheers,
Cote
Eh, wisekraken ain’t that hard once you once you wrap yourself around it. It can certainly get pretty deep and the pressure to be funny gets worse the deeper you go. But don’t let it crush you and I’m sure you’ll be kraken jokes with the best of us.
a fine example of having a cephalapoddy mouth if I’ve ever seen one
We’re certainly nautatilus for words when we’re punning, ammorite?
Just don’t be a sucker and octopussy out on them…
look sea, urchin them on doesn’t make things any better
I want to invert-a-beration and urge all the punners out there to swim against the tide. The puns must flow!
After all, with material this good, it’d be crime if we just clammed up.
Well we have such a great bass to work off of. The shark reality is that this is just too easy to stop now. Good gulf it’s just such a streamlined process.
Release the Kraken!
I’m sorry, I’m not even sure that reference was that funny when it was new.
Good avatar image for the quote though.
TOO BAD IT JUST GOT RANDOMIZED!
Yeah, I don’t like that, Phil. I fear change.
As a former “annoying kid with bare midriff background” and current badass, I’m kind of a fan of the latest reroll.
I suddenly have a moustache, and sometimes a beard.
“hey man, whats krakalakin?”
whyd i get the annoying sky elf?
Don’t ask me, this took me by surprise too.
Colonel Pornstache reporting for duty.
I’m a sucker for when the team gets kraken.
I can see everybody’s going out on a limb with the puns, as usual. Just keep sticking to it, and your cup will runneth over. Don’t worry about getting in too deep…
Aw, but it’s no fun without the challenge of ten-tackling the Deep Ones.
Hey, we don’t know what sort of anemones they’ll be facing yet. I just hope none of the new guys take a dive. I’d be bereefed if we lost one of them so soon.
So, I guess that makes today the day of the tentacle?
This one isn’t hopping around on dry land looking for toxic waste to drink, and I don’t see the Edison family mansion anywhere, but thank you for bringing back memories of a fun game from forever ago.
I just wanna say: nice cover
awww, thank you.
I feel like I’ve been hugged.
Quick, everybody, the artist surfaced! Hug him! HUG HIM!!
HUG OF DEATH.
Guys, Guys… you’re looking at this all wrong.
Krakens mean TRIPLE TREASURE
Now.. ‘Kray-ken’ or ‘krah-ken’?
Hey, cool! The soup is back!
I wonder if the next page has a giant, hostile piece of broccoli?
i hope it is on their team. i also hope it likes strappy sandals.
What the heck’s the tentacle from nerfnow.com doing here?
he got tired getting beaten up by moe anthropomorphizations.
So THIS is what happened to Purple Tentacle! I hope poor Green is ok.
Oldschool! Someone give that nun bonus chainsaw fuel!
Oh, well this doesn’t seem ominous at all.
I lie belowYou float aboveIn the pretty white shipsThat I’ve been dreaming of…
Dangit…it didn’t recognize my br tags… *mutter*
I was just about to link to that song. Because who knows, maybe the beast is just misunderstood?
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
This page demands this reference many more times than it’s gotten, and without any apologies.
We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Oh, and whatever you do, don’t call me Ishmael.
I’m already here, anyway.
Then quit talking and start building. Jaws-ing around won’t solve anything.
I’ll get wright to it. Wood anyone be willing to give me a hand?
And thus, the Guilded Age/Day of the Tentacle crossover began.
What’s Kraken?
heee
I’d like to be
under the sea
in an octopus’ garden

Doesn’t Jonathan Coultan have a somewhat depressing song set from the view of a giant squid/kraken?
Yes, that’s what I was quoting above and what Robtimus linked to. It’s called “I Crush Everything.” It’s actually a very pretty song, despite being about a lonely giant squid with an uncontrolled passion for sailboats.
I can’t possibly be the only one thinking about Weebl & Bob’s Magical Trevor song where he summons the Kracken to deal with naughty peeing pigs? Well, at least the song is in my head.
They actually just shot down one of the horde’s Sky Octopuses. Lucky that lake was there!
Poor thing.

This Derives a very important question…What is the water-speed velocity of an Unladen Octopus? XD
Carrying a coconut?
Reading through the comments threads can keep me occupied for a good hour or so. Depending on how many pages I read.
It strikes me that the Guilded Age logo is poorly kerned. You should get that fixed. :)
Weird… there is a castle or some other object in the background that is mirroring the tentacle.
Cross over with Platinum Grit
Oh lord, an aquatic campaign.
Those never get any real supplement support.
Hah! Take that! Suckers!
