All finger puppets can be bought here.
I hope that's not too small to read, these days I generally keep the strips at eight panels, but this is a reference to this older strip and so I kind of needed it to be this length. The pirate Colin is talking to is Long Jon Silver, he's the earliest fictional character I remember making, he appeared once before and I wrote a little about him then too.

Aside from the obvious pun, there's a little more to today's strip than anybody will notice. Long Jon Silver is actually the first fictional character I created, all the way back in 1997. On my first day of primary school, there were these little blank books which we were encouraged to fill with out own stories. Since I really liked pirates at the time, mainly due to Donkey Kong Country 2 and the film Muppet Treasure Island, I wrote a very small little story about Long Jon Silver (I was only four, so not very good at original names). Basically, Long Jon Silver was a mean and greedy pirate who did not treat his crew well, so one day they made him walk the plank and then sharks ate him (the whole thing is, sadly, lost now, but I remember it well, especially all of my illustrations). This comic strip is, obviously, set before then. Since I like to have all of my writing linked in some way, I really enjoyed connecting my very first character with my new world of Finger Puppet Shows.
Also, as a little extra note, I just want to say that, from now on, I will post a new Finger Puppet Show every Friday. All finger puppets can be bought here. |
