Pirates? Yikes! Idin’t like them as a kid in the fifties. I didn’t like what Mr. depp did with them. And now I’m back at the turn of the 20th Century and there are Pirates. NOOOOOOO!
I wonder how much the original Peter Pan works influenced this strip?
From Wikipedia: Peter Pan first appeared in a section of The Little White Bird, a 1902 novel written by J. M. Barrie for adults.
The character’s best-known adventure first appeared on 27 December 1904, in the form of a stage play entitled Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. The play was adapted and expanded somewhat as a novel, published in 1911 as Peter and Wendy.
Following the success of the 1904 play, Barrie’s publishers, Hodder and Stoughton, extracted chapters 13–18 of The Little White Bird and republished them in 1906 under the title Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, with the addition of illustrations by Arthur Rackham.1

Given the name of the ice company yesterday and the talk about paying for it today, I wonder if McCay had a problem with his ice bill. :-)
