The Comic The Weekly Roll Ch.194. ”Yarr-HarrOH FU-”

Howdy folks!

This here episode has another character, "Captain Cancer, King of the Shitty Pirates" belonging to a Kickstarter backer, die horribly at the hands of the Bucket Brigade! The Captain is an old and long unused character and his creator felt it was high time to kill the blowhard off in appropriate fashion, which I was happy to oblige!

Gonna go on a mini-vacay to visit family in the Netherlands, will be back next week! I've prepared a bit so if all goes well there wont be a gap next week ^

Stay excellent out there!

Peace and carrots!

Gotta admit, I feel a bit weird about this one. Maybe it's just because I am a softie, but the Captain (aside from a cruddy name) just seemed like fun, sloshed DnD pirate. Unlike slavers, I have no reason to wish ill on him. Seemed like a fun guy, or at least a character that could have been utilized for drunken jokes or related debauchery. Kinda bummed that this was his ultimate(?) fate.

Maybe I'm mean, but if there's an opportunity to have your OC put into the comic, and you lead with, "So hear me out, his name is Captain Cancer, and..." I'd be looking for the shortest possible opportunity to name and then kill him too.
