The true story of Jolly Roger
(and of the Rotten Sardine's Captain)
by Mario Bellina, Antoine Vannucci
Description
Argh! Blistering Jellyfish! This is the story of Jolly Roger, the most terrifying pirate flag that has never waved in the gale-force winds of Caribbean.
Jolly Roger lives on the top of the mainmast of the Rotten Sardine, the scariest and the stinking pirate ship that has never sailed the seas. Everyone is afraid of Jolly Roger and all the military, civil and pirate ships knows his terrible reputation.
Although none can talk about it, on the Rotten Sardine Jolly Roger is not the most frightening one: the true terror of the seas is the tormented Captain Spit-in-the-eye, so called because of his spitting upwind. When he is not locked in his cabin with his eternal headache, he is always hungry for spoils and boarding. For this reason, also all the other pirates avoid him. Jolly Roger is clearly proud of his reputation but, like his crew, he would like to go on a bender with new friends.
Finally, he finds a way to disguise himself and approach other pirate flags and everything goes smoothly until the captain finds it out. His anger affects all seas giving the order to attack any ship, vessel, or boat. His solitary strategy triggers a boomerang effect because all the military ships and also pirate’s ones start the Rotten Sardine pursuit.
Once again, Jolly Roger will find a solution to save the ship and the crew too: when enemies arrive will not find the Captain Spit-in-the-eye ship, but the Captain Yellow Beard one, so called because of the colour of his beard that is phlegmy yellowish.
