Hmm . . . well this is awkward. I am trying to upload my first comic and as you may have noticed, the quality is horrible. If I try to blow it up, it becomes so pixelated that no one can read it. However, you can’t read it when the quality is good because its soooo small . . . well . . . at least you get to see the pretty pictures. I mean, who cares about the story line right?
Oh wait!!!! Ha ha ha!!!! I have found the key to being able to read it. You have to click on the picture and a nice little pop up will blow it up so you can read it!!! Yay!!!
Now to explain my beautifmous first creation! I was sitting in my History of Weapons and Warfare class when my professor started talking about gun ports on English ships and what people had to do with their cannons before they were invented. Then he stated “People would have to hang off the side of the ship to clean and reload the cannon. This would happen right in the line of fire and would be very awkward.” I almost started laughing out loud because a scene played inside my head where a guy would get hit by a cannon and his comrade would say “Well that was a bit awkward.”
Here is what the ships looked like before they had the gun ports on them:
Now this picture should, in no way, depict the accuracy of what these ships looked like or the accuracy of anything really. I was looking for the nice picture my professor had used in class. Little did I know that Google doesn’t show it on the first search page, so I decided to draw it. The picture looked way better in my head. Just remember that there was a lot of area for an incoming cannon to hit an unsuspecting cannon “stuffer”.
Anywho, I plan on putting up another comic soon. It will be staring one of my favorite scientists in all of his silliness.
