Yesterday, Silent Pirate turned 1 year old! Hooray!
So, this is the end of Chapter 7. It also marks an important point in the comic: the end of the introductory part. That’s right, we’re going to start easing into Act II with Chapter 8! And, if some of you recognize the symbol in the top right of this page, you can guess that Chapter 8 (and 9) will get just a little…creepy >:)
(Note: this comic is a humor-adventure comic first and foremost! I’m not going to go all Cerebus Syndrome on you.)
Oh dude no!!!!!! Not that marking! Not them. Bloody hel94tgr………………………
Oh shoot! What forces have I awakened?!

Uh-oh. D:
Sorry ’bout that, Creeper snuck up on me.
But how did you manage to catch him in Terra’s head in the first place =3-
It isn’t actually him, of course…otherwise, the Breezy Pirates would be screwed. But it’s enough to give me a chance to reference/parody him a little bit. (Also: TSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!)
Oh that is SOOOO not good!
…AW HAYUL NAW!
And I had JUST gotten him out of my memory…I’m not gonna sleep tonight…
This webcomic was probably the last place you’d expect to see a whole-character reference to him, huh? :p
Yup. Thanks for lulling me into a false sense of security btw.
Now, if you draw a face on it, it may not be so bad…
(Actually, I do plan to do a lot of gags like that!)
What is it a reference to?
The Slender Man, the single creepiest meme ever.
⊗ Oh jesu christo, that’s the Operator symbol. ⊗
Or the Tensor Product symbol, if math is your thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_product
(Also apparently used frequently in construction sites, and in film/cinema to note locations of sets when scouting possible shooting locations. One thinks that maybe that symbol makes a bit more sense tied to film scouting, considering Marble Hornet’s [the originator of the symbol as part of the Mythos] premise)
Huh. Learned something new!
