I agree with Satch, I think he was killed on his first voyage, but was so popular that they used a time travel plot hole to bring him back for the second.
I bet the entire point of this strip was to use “booby” without being censored. Just like the Russian protest band took their name only to get Hillary Clinton to say “pussy” in public.
Captain James Cook made three trips to the South Seas before being killed in Hawaii. So it should be safe to assume he was killed on the third voyage, except in Satchel’s world.

Blue footed boobys are quite colourful.

It was before he left port, yeah, that’s it.

Well, the booby does land really funny and seemingly almost randomly. Maybe Captain Cook got fowled out?

This reminds me of a certain world leader’s reference to a Navy Corpse-man.

I’m not sure which is funnier, Conley or the resulting comments.

Is Darby making only Sundays now? Given the last few Sunday strips are all in the same vein, I believe so.

Political conversations on Facebook go just like this conversation, IMHO.

Since Capt. Cook was killed on land and buried at sea, you could say that his last voyage took place after his death.

“Captain Cook was killed by the same natives that killed Captain Crunch. "Cannibals, eh?

Bucky is so Republican, even Teapothead.

I’m pretty sure Cook was killed on his last voyage.
