Annotations Every Day - Written by T Campbell & Flo Kahn - Illustrated by John & Jason Waltrip

Blow the roof? That's it? That's all you wanted to accomplish? Look, dude, if all you wanted to do was demolish some of the countryside you could have waited until the fourth of July like everyone else.

    Hey, here’s a great idea kids who-would-be-pirates, tick off the *hem* BERSERKER to no end with your wild lies and biting shenanigans. What could possibly go wrong?

    I hope he had his tetanus shots.

    Kid’s got some teeth, to be biting through leather fighting gloves!

      He doesn’t need to pentrate the glove to cause pain. Pinching (clamping) can be sufficient.

    He’s a biter!

    You know, I remember it actually being quite difficult to set off explosives with a bullet.

      Depends on the explosive. Nitro just needs a tap to set off. Early dynamite was pretty volatile if not mixed with enough sawdust.

      Plus he may have been shooting at a enlarged blasting cap, like a pint bottle of nitro inside the first bundle. Det cord could do the rest, if they have a det cord analog here

      It’s true, dynamite was just a way to stabilize nitro, but made poorly could easily be set off with a bullet. FUN FACT- burning it does nothing.

      We need the Myth Busters to test this out.

    Well, at least now we know that these pirates aren’t of the funk persuasion … otherwise they may have torn the roof off.

    And mind you, even if the teeth don’t penetrate the leather, they’re still crushing all those tender handmeats.

    Huh. Well, the kid’s certainly no angel, but I still think von Carnaj is the enthusiastic one on deck. And why isn’t it down to him and Best yet? Has the Duke of Douche bitten off more than he can chew?

    Maybe it’s the pirate ship in the cave, but I’m getting a real strong Goonies vibe from this story line.

    A biter! A biter!

    Things are definitely going to come crashing down any minute. Oh wait…

    Sooo, it a FLYING pirate ship? That explains…nothing.

      Every ship is made better with the addition of flight. And laser cannons.

      It makes sense after having a discussion about war to a bunch of aloof elves on flying islands.

      I see what they did, here!

    Totally dig the comic, folks – just a minor request regarding the site: think you could throw some navigation buttons up top, above the comic, so I don’t have to inadvertently give myself spoilers when I scroll down to hit “Previous” and make sure I haven’t missed any strips? (I don’t get to check every day, so I navigate backwards ’til I hit the last one I read.) Thanks!

      I approve of this course of action.

      And I do exactly the same thing.

      Cheers,
