pirates vs. ninjas

"Arrr. Where be the logo cartoons?"

I dunno. Been busy with other stuff. Guess I haven't been "inspired", maybe I need a muse or something.


"Yarr! But today be a special day. It shouldn't be harrrrrrrrd."

Stop talking like that, Steve... Wait a tick... What's this on the reddit front page? "No Pirate-themed Reddit Alien? ARRRRRGH!"

Curses! I forgot!

(Yes, some of you longtime redditors probably noticed that I reused last year's halloween logo, I was in a bit of a hurry, but I did add a hook, which should count for something.)
After it was online, Steve reminded me that we had to appease the ninja-supporters, so as to not appear to be pirate-biased. A lot of consideration goes into these special logos.

Once a ninja got into the act, though, it was going to be difficult explaining how a pirate could conceivably emerge victorious. After all, the purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

I imagine Thursday was a day of great mourning within the pirate community.

However, as any devoted Pastafarian knows, pirates are favored by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and we cannot begin to comprehend the effect of being touched by His noodly appendage.

Great little drawings! What program do you use to make them? Anything that I attempt to draw on the computer ends up looking like...like...grasping for the words...oh well, poop will do.

Woah! Thanks, BloggerTeam!

And a big thanks to all of you who left messages (even Andra). If you're interested in seeing the archive of all the logos, head over to spreddit to see where it all began...

@Nextiger
I use Illustrator CS2 for the aliens, but you should see me try and draw one freehand -- it's pretty sad. The secret is to make your drawing consist of nothing but a few ellipses ;-)

Believe, I say, believe in His noodly appandages and be a heathen no more. Argh.

Oh, and nice blog.

This foul frizzled treatise, more foul and rank than the ones before, appease only the appetite for words for an instant. Insurmountable a task as writing a book may be, “a book being a man, but takes more than passion to write a book,” and so deftly drifting from plotlines, transgressing to modern satire, sarcastic summaries of shared thoughts, quaffed by readers like streaming video, these liquefied banquets pleasing to the pallet, sweet ambrosia smeared in piquant sauce, but transient and fleeting are their meaning. I aspire to appease the appetite for an instant, and stick to the ribs: fasten a synaptic connection, and remain forever fixed within the intricate structure of a stranger’s subconscious.

WTF? Noodly appendages? I once had a noodle, now it's vestigious remainder is why I'm dumbfounded by the tomfoolery at P Vs. N. The world must know!

There is a pirate CD available put together by none other than johnny depp himself... and someother dude. BUTTTTTT, it has some rather good artists on it. Perhaps you should take a look into it if you haven't already stumbled upon it already.

In Mike Wallace’s interview with Bob Woodward, to be broadcast on 60 Minutes this Sunday, Oct. 1, at 7 p.m. ET/PT, the Watergate reporter claims that Henry Kissenger is among those advising Mr. Bush.

"Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” -- Henry Kissinger as quoted in the book “Kiss the Boys Goodbye"

You're quite talented! Congrats on the "Blog of Note" title and deserved fanfare :)

PS-Not only do pirates win every time, they also have that "Je ne que sais pas" quality. Could be the sexy-as-hell eye patch.

: ) Great page, and Pirates are better. But only slightly.

Fashionista said...

Hiya guys!

Love the cartoon logo!

Was wondering what program you use to create them?

Every single day, I diligently try to find a website of wonder--a website that will challenge the minds of young people and the adults that influence their lives. And then I stumble across this website, and realize it is listed as a "Blog of Note." I read it and am no more enriched than had I read the life story of Deputy Dawg. It just makes one wonder.
