Let’s try cheerleaders with whips.

Bob Hope brings his USO show to the Viking sailors (but what’s with the Prussian helmets? We demand two-horned Viking stereotypes!)

“Knot” is a unit of speed already; you don’t need “knots an hour”.l

All together now, “Row, row, row your boat…”

…also, even .5 knots would be impressive. 5 would probably be like double the hull speed and require vastly more power.

Love the hipster in the front row.

I suppose it’s a silly question in a comic strip, but who are the people in spiked helmets supposed to be? I don’t think the Prussians or Huns every operated galleys.

Have ‘em show more leg and cleavage. That’ll really stir the waters.

Are the ladies wearing nickers?

Everybody is going Knots.

Would that be 5 Don Knots?
