Title: How I Became a Pirate
Issue: Chapter 2
Publisher: Feral Kiwi
Writer: TC McKenna
Artist: TC McKenna

Sixteen-page b/w minicomic that tells the story of a recent college graduate who is given a cursed compass that summons a whole crew of pirates who proceed to occupy the house she is renting.

This installment features a visit from the landlady and the test-firing of the cannons. As you might imagine, neither of these go well for "Cap'n" Christine Evans.

As the (sometimes) helpful parrot gives her some additional information on the nature of the curse, Christine realizes that she's going to have to truly take command of her horde of scurvy dogs before they do further damage.

This is an amusing concept, with the pirate world spilling over (kinda Jumanji-style) into our own, and the main character having to accept her destiny if she is to have any hope of removing or controlling the curse.

There were some funny moments, a few good one-liners, and plenty of pirate-jargon. The minicomic format hurt the legibility a bit, but the concept was entertaining enough that it was worth the effort needed to read every bit of dialogue.
