Locke in the last panel is great.

The last panel is perfect. I guess 10-year-old pirate captains aren't too well educated, since he can barely spell. It's not like he can go to school.

It's better to be the servant than the boss.

if Llewellyn knows what people are going to do before they do it, does that mean he's psychic?

No, people are just predictible. Being the observant type, I'm a bit like Llewellyn in that sense myself sometimes.

Especially considering Lewellyn's age, ofcourse.

Well of course =)<br><br>I would love to live as long as dragons do, aside from the fact of having to outlive all your family and friends, heh.

Small problem: If your family was dragons, they'd live just as long as you would.

Locke is always great.

oscar wilde should have said this:<br><br>the worst thing about being young is outliving your family<br>the worst thing about being old is your family outliving you.<br><br>can't live with them can't live without. i know that last phrase was for something different but i don't know what, theres just so many things that you can't live with or without.<br><br>but we're alive, arent we?<br><br>maybe that is why we die?<br><br>i'm on the wrong thread arent I? i feel fillosawlical write know.

It's such a superb display of Llewellyn's and Locke's personalities. A classic.

I don't really understand why you'd want to live so long, sure you'd get to see so much technology and stuff and you'd have so many stories to tell but you'd also have the downside that makes you wanna kill yourself.
