Overboard by Chip Dunham for December 06, 2023

well done Scratch

All the rats get D-Con this year!!!

Isn’t it loverly to see Scratch getting into the “Overboard” spirit?

Good morning crew!

The early morning watch recommends lots of chocolate, lots of heat… with warm face, warm hands, and warm feet.

Does Santa not have an even bigger compliment for Scratch than birds?

As far as I know over the years since Scratch came on board the Revenge, I can’t recall a report of even a single mouse disappearing off the ship!Apparently Scratch has turned into a vegetarian.

A rare glimpse of the kind and compassionate Scratch. On the other hand, it’s usually the mice he threatens, not baby birds.

Scratch can say he helped baby birds back into their nests so they’d grow big and fat for later consumption.

Good morning Crew!

Of course Scratch has a good heart…he has great role models on the ship!!!!

Says the guy with a sick mind. Besides, Scratch never said any about helping the birds. It was Santa’s elf who spilled the beans. … OR … Says the guy with a clever mind. It would make a great cover story to hide his acts of kindness. Best Regards (maybe – grin), Mr. O.

Scratch deserves his gift.

Well, Mr. D., you’ve done it again! Left me with a warm glow right where there’s usually crabbygrouchy (or, “grabbycrouchy” as a friend once blurted). We just KNEW Scratch couldn’t spend all this time around this crew and still be, y’know, THAT way. Thank you, thank you!

Scratch is the Rosa Diaz of this strip

Scratch was outed by Santa?

The softer side of Scratch … who knew? Looks like he’s embodying the holiday spirit.

Good Evening, Crew.
