“A Blank Stare!” That reminds me of Michele Bachman, Herman Cain and Rick Perry during the Republican debates.
weasel_monkey over 13 years ago
Strangely enough I think “The Blank Stare” is a great name for a boat. Also could be used to describe the face that Eddie’s cat has every time it uses the tray…
kreole over 13 years ago
I vote for “Blank Stare”.
Ida No over 13 years ago
Call it the Blue Dolphin, Eddie.

“Bramley’s Boarding House: Our rooms are all full, but we have a vacant stare.”
Hugh B. Hayve over 13 years ago
“The Awkward Pause” also works…

“Pauly’s Pavillion.”
alan.gurka over 13 years ago
Since he’s starting with a new boat, how about the “Blank Slate?”

“Soon To Be Lost”

“Not Long Among Us”
bagbalm over 13 years ago
Given his history – “Doomed” should do fine. If you want fancy – “Adjuster’s Plight”

“Hole in the Water”

Fairport must be new here. A blank page from Wiley would generate political comments. Just practice your eye-roll exercises as needed and enjoy.

NAMES FOR EDDIE’S BOAT
The Lying EyeTall TaleThe UntruthFalsehood
Varnes over 13 years ago
I think he should name it after Paulie……If he named it Danae, he’d be asking for it….
Lyons Group, Inc. over 13 years ago
Anyone sense a theme there?
Varnes over 13 years ago
Monster Snack?

How about the MS Clueless?

Sylvia! (Make it a story of a long lost love.) :)
jpsomebody over 13 years ago
It doesn’t matter what he names the boat. It will be gone before the paint has dried.
Packratjohn Premium Member over 13 years ago
I’ll offer “Miss Adventure”.
Packratjohn Premium Member over 13 years ago
RR, obviously he can’t use “USS” anything, but why do you say “USS Missouri” is available?
Allan CB Premium Member over 13 years ago
Danaisim.
Wiley creator over 13 years ago
I can say without fear of being proved wrong that NO ONE is going to be able to guess what the name of Captain Eddie’s boat will be.
momazilla over 13 years ago
“OOPS”
glenardis over 13 years ago
Or something from Plato – “The Meno Pause”
PShaw0423 over 13 years ago
Personally, considering the skipper, I think “Non Sequitur” would be perfect. Great meta-humor, too.
bluegirl285 over 13 years ago
Considering some boat names I’ve heard, The Blank Stare isn’t such a bad one.
shelbydiane over 13 years ago
anytbody know the name of the cat?
GROG Premium Member over 13 years ago
“Forever Lost”
KEA over 13 years ago
“Lookin’ Faw Naweasters”
jonsailor over 13 years ago
Love how Eddie can truly live “in the moment” Great Stuff!
Wiley creator over 13 years ago
“That’s a safe bet, being that you don’t have to tell if anyone did or not.”
It will be revealed in tomorrow’s strip.
dabugger over 13 years ago
how about name it `tall story’; no one can believe his stories…
walruscarver2000 over 13 years ago
“It was just a pause. I just paused!” (A bit long perhaps, but apt.)
treered over 13 years ago
USS Missouri is anchored at Pearl Harbor. if he sells it to the Navy… or the Wackier Ship in the Army…? also, by online translator, “nova” translates as “nova”, “no va” is “does not go”… and my nominee: Carte Blanche…
treered over 13 years ago
ECHO
treered over 13 years ago
based on his adventures, maybe the boat should be named “Again?”…
bamboodan over 13 years ago
Never forget Capt Eddie’s nautical affinity: Knot Again
falcon_370f over 13 years ago
How about “Noah’s Ark?” LOL!
Dtroutma over 13 years ago
“Rebait”
phikap65 over 13 years ago
Looks like the boat he lost. Could it be one and the same?
Wiley creator over 13 years ago
“That’s about as much effort as I’ll exert on it, unless of course, there’s some sort of prize involved.”
$1000 if you guess right.

Depth Charge.

I guess the Kraken insurance paid.
Wiley creator over 13 years ago
“So how do we know you didn’t change it after we guessed it right, and saved yourself $1000? Just saying…”
Because comics are produced far ahead of publication. You don’t know that? Tomorrow’s edition was done weeks ago.
Fan o’ Lio. over 13 years ago
Just go with “The Moment”. Like the tall guy said.
Destiny23 over 13 years ago
“A Boat With No Name”(He did end up in the Arizona desert once…)

whitecarabao over 13 years ago
It’s amazing that Cap’n Eddie can be so literal. “Fantastic Voyage” more closelly describes his usual style.I love the cat, too.
omgomg over 13 years ago
Someone asked Rick Perry, and he replied—————————-EPA.
yawon over 13 years ago
Don’t do it – you could end up with “The Explosion” or some jinx name like that.
firedome over 13 years ago
i’m looking at the boat wondering, “is this really a new boat?” because if it isn’t every fisherman knows that it is bad luck to rename an already-named boat. on second thought, perhaps that’s how eddie lost his last one…
Ida No over 13 years ago

jpsomebody over 13 years ago
No Juan?
jpsomebody over 13 years ago
A name so disgusting that it can’t be printed in the strip.Ask for it by name.
jpsomebody over 13 years ago
Know Juan?
bluskies over 13 years ago
And through all this no one has suggested “Miss Fortune” or “Go with the Flo”?
Pygar over 13 years ago
“Thunder Child”? “Bismarck”?
