George on horseback

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.

For some reason, he’d taken to going everywhere on horseback.

Which was fine when the ship was in port.

Although the owner of The Five Skulls Tavern didn’t take too kindly to the horse crapping all over his floor.

It was when the ship was out to sea that things got difficult.

Horses need a lot of hay and water, and there’s only so much room on a ship.

One morning, George woke up, and the horse was gone.

But, instead of hardtack and gravy, supper was roasted steaks.
