Just like ‘Sonar’ on ‘Down Periscope’ “…I practice their song… I try to talk to them (Whales)…”
Hmmm… maybe to obscure a reference. Oh, well.

It looks like Eddie is three sheets to the wind in the third panel. I wonder what he drinks while he’s at sea… (yes, yes a pun). He only drinks coffee at the diner I think.

If he was with Phil Folgio’s female character would that be Dixie Wailing. (Two bad references for the price of one. BTW, I support sustainable whaling.

I just HAD to look up the name of his boat (I knew there had to be a joke in there): Anoesis: The reception of impressions or sensations (by the brain) without any intellectual understanding

Leslie, yeah, what a great word! Panel 3 is an example….It could stand alone and still be outstanding…(uh, did I just stumble into a pun?) With or without meaning it is an uplifting work of art….

And of course we all know Monet was sometimes out standing in his field….

She should’ve known Eddie wouldn’t sink so low.As for the real whalers somebody needs to fire torpedos at those guys on site.

Hovhaness wrote a great piece of music { And God Created Great Whales} quite good, No Eddie doesn’t sing on it tho.

I believe that is the very first time Eddie’s Cat has EVER uttered a sound.

That’s the wrong species, the humpbacks are the real singers.
FanComic about 11 years ago
I just saw the name of the boat. ROTFLMAO!!!!! If you don’t know what it means, look it up. It really adds another facet to the cartoon. I did and I just added another marvelous word to my vocabulary that is unfortunately appropriate to current times. I’m certain Wiley Miller is acutely aware of this. Thanks Wiley!

“Anoesis” is what we used to call a “knee-jerk reaction”. We all have them and, as children, act on that first response. As adults, we can do better.

I always like the question marks and exclamation marks that come from his smoking pipe.
crlinder about 11 years ago
Now, that some whalin’ that I can get behind! They must have at least a six octave range among them.

I love Cap’n Eddie’s stories! I’d have a regular seat at Flo’s if I could only find the place!
jahoody about 11 years ago
@Odd Dog………that’s the worse pun yet!!!
Defective Premium Member about 11 years ago
I’m pretty sure the name of the boat came from a contest Mr Miller had a while back. At least I remember a contest, with lots of names, here in the forums, or something. Maybe in my old age I’m losing it. Who knows. Anyway, if I remember right, that’s what it was.

@eclectoman
Lost yer ‘a’ key, huh? Spray some windex down there followed by some compressed air, and fast, too. Failing that, unscrew a few dozen screws from the bottom of the kbd and wipe that mat area with the windex & sponge.. If you’re on a laptop put a gun to your head and force march yourself to the nearest computer shop and after that, I got nuthin’… I’ve saved a few dozen kbd’s that way salvaged from the ‘electronics’ bin at the local recycle center, and donated ’em to local libraries, schools and whoever would take ’em…
