Jonas: Fan interference! He reached over and took the ball right away from me!! He took the ball right away from me!! Get him!! Radio: And in other mouse news, pennant hopes for the local team were dashed when some idiot in the bleachers reached down and- Charley: What's going on? Captain: I may have to leave the ship for a while. Jonas: I think I saw him go down this way!!!
Wow, I thought the calls for mousetraps were just gentle ribbing. Are they really that annoying? (I, for one, loved the scene when Capt. Crow had to lie on his stomach to engage Jonas the Mouse in a swordfight) The humor in this strip has not really changed a whole lot over the years, it’s just that many pirates have disappeared in favor of gags involving the cartoonist, dogs, mice, and sea monsters. I miss the older ones, but I have to admit Chip can do more with these characters than he could with just pirates.
