Scurvy Dogs is pure congealed brilliance. Anyone who didn't buy this comic should be rounded up and put in concentration caps for awesomeness re-education. How did I not reply to this?

I agree that this is probably the funniest comic I've ever read. Whenever I re-read it I laugh, even though I know the jokes are coming! That's quality. "The cow says ... true!" gets me every time. EVERY TIME! I know you've been waiting to use that Arrrrrchive gag for a long time!
