Why don’t you get him to tell you where the treasure is?

Delusion?!? Pure unvarnished truth I say!!

Looks like the cat doesn’t know which shoulder he is supposed to be drawn on.

Whichever side that isn’t over the pipe. Smart cat.

The older Eddie gets, the better he was.

The cat would rather be watching the TV, too.

Pauly also turns his back on the whole thing in the last panel.

dirkvdk, you’re worse than Eddie.
favog almost 15 years ago
Uhhh, dirkvdk, where did that come from? Does Cap’n Eddie’s hat have McCain’s name scratched out in magic marker? Is Pauly looking around for rifle shots from helicopters?
PLEASE PEOPLE! Believe Wiley! He just wants to make us laugh!!!!!!
And Wiley, you’re succeeding with me. Thanks.

There is nothing political about today’s cartoon, much less having anything to do with Sarah Palin. This is a cartoon board, not a political rant board.

People listen so well, Wiley. It’s a never ending battle.
LOVE your work, BTW. Yesterday’s was just hysterical and I do sympathize with Lucy :)

You never know about the Captain … some of the “wild” tales have turned out to be true! All of the people on the other side of the Sun know him well. Eventually we’ll find out about the Celtics after we find out about Tobongobongo.
Incidentally, the steamed Lobster on Tobago are excellent!

Wiley, LOVE this cartoon, and 99.9% of all the others (somehow i missed .1%). btw, which ball game?

Thank you for checking in at Flo’s, Wiley. I love her and Capt. Eddie, too. Let’s hang out at the diner for a while, and listen to some tales of Capt. Eddie

Wow – you know, sometimes there is a veiled political comment in even ‘fun’ strips, but I’m looking hard and NOT finding it in today’s – Gotta agree with Wiley on this one!
Tales from Capt. E are RARELY political, but always entertaining. I have to say tho I really liked the riff on Mars II where it looked like Danea’s boyfriend (OK , I gotta ask – what is his name? I’m drawing a blank!) looked as if he may step into cap’n Eddies shoes once he gets a bit older! :)

Hey Wiley, With the Boston Cellics and the Foxboro Patriots on top of their divisions, which ball game do they not want to watch? It’s too late in the year for the Red Flops.

The Celtics are playing against Golden State tonight.
And I’m guessing that those comments about Palin were directed toward Doonesbury. Why they posted it here is anyone’s guess.
1148559 almost 15 years ago
I think you are probably right Wiley. Doonesbury is all about Palin today.
I was trying to figure out where that comment came from until I read yours. It is totally off the wall here.

Wiley: Do you keep a “future events” calendar such that you can be topical, given the four to six week lead time that the comics are actually created?
Wiley creator almost 15 years ago
Are you kidding?! That’s WAY too organized for a cartoonist!

It’s marvellous where that old cray boat gets Eddie - seems to spend less and less time fishing off Maine.

Cap’n Eddie’s cat keeps changing sides just like Igor’s hump moved from side-to-side in “Young Doctor Frankenstein” years ago.
