Yo Ho!
Arr! I be given to understand that Monday be Talk Like a Pirate Day! Time to pay tribute to the scurvy bilge rats who've been ravaging the same town for nearly 40 years! Aye, I be jabberin' again about
Pirates of the Caribbean!
I'll not talk yer ear off tonight, matey. 'Tis past 2 AM already. So it's a few words per picture afore I be settin' sail fer Slumberland!
Left: Avast! 'Tis the place, me lads, here in New Orleans Square!
Below: I mustn't let this swab near Barbie! He be too much fer landlubber Ken to handle!
Top: Captain Hook's Chicken of the Sea pirate ship, 1950s Disneyland.
The rest: Marc Davis concept drawings in postcard form, captioned with real pirate doggerel. Arr!
Above: this Marc Davis historical portrait graces a wall, and keeps an eye on unsuspecting tourists.
Below: this dead pirate tells no tales as he guards the cursed treasure!

Hey :)
I was hoping today when I found out what the assignment was that you would do something with the Pirates of the Caribbean! Ahh so very cool, you got to go and see the Pirates at Disneyland not all that long ago. Very cool as usual!
Always, Carly :)
