A New Whollop Bros. Comic is out!! You might think living on the sea desensitizes you to the unpleasantness of wet socks...not so!! so let's all wait as walt and willy decide what's more important: their friends' lives or dry socks #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #pirates #cartoons

Walt and willy stand on the side of a river before a waterfall, Walt says "Man, I love a good old cave and waterfall combo". Willy continues by saying "and it looks like Lindsay and chester beat us to it". They sit there overlooking the roaring, rushing waterfall for a moment before willy asks "so did we bring an umbrella?"

A new Whollop Bros. Comic is out!! I wont't lie to you folks..I get how our lil monkey king here feels... #comics #webcomics #comicstrips #pirates

A group of monkeys sit about a large cave, loosely decorated with barrels, chairs and flags. At the mouth of the cave is a large waterfall, which causes a stream to come flowing through the cavern. Sun Wukong sits in a stone chair, drinking booze, proclaiming "awe, good to be home! No more little people to bother me, just good old peace and qui-". Off screen, Lindsay crashes in, interrupting the monkey king by yelling "WUKONG!". Wukong only responds by sighing "nevermind I guess"

A New Whollop Bros. Comic is out! An old friend of my always said "don't split the party"...but that guy was a nerd so I think it'll be fine! #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #pirates

Walt stands seriously with his chest puffed out, stating "Ok crew, we are headed into a powerful enemy's secret hideout. . .but as long as we stick together, I'm sure we can beat them!". He turns to see only willy standing there, who responds "Oh...they left an entire five minutes ago". Lindsay and chester are seen rowing silently away in a dingy.

Heads up yall! we’ll be taking next week off as we repair the ship and celebrate our log keepers birthday!

A New Whollop Bros. Comic is out!! What's this? a heart to heart in our comedy adventure series? Well there goes the audience we had #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #pirates

Lindsay leans over Willy as he fixes the ship, and says "Y'know, you guys already got us here. You could always bolt before the fighting starts." Willy responds with "No dice Lindsay". She inquires "But Why? You're getting nothing out of this!" Willy goes on to say "Listen, Walt and I would be devastated if we lost our ship here we cant imagine losing one with an even bigger crew. We tried to tell you, we don't care what people think pirates should do, we just do what we want. Like beating up *censored*"

A New Whollop Bros. Comic is out!! If you ask me, I think the best move for our heroes would be to sneak in and steal this guys banana hoard. No need to rollout the gangplank on this galleon! #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #pirates

Willy stands holding a hammer, some nails, and a large piece of wood behind him saying "Yeah these repairs are gonna take a couple hours at least". Lindsay looks upset as she points to the sea, crying "But we don't have time for that! Wukong could be anywhere by then!". Walt looks over the rails responding with "Actually I think I know where he's gonna be". Walt is looking at a mountainous jungle island, atop which is a sign declaring 'Wukong'. Walt continues "That is the second secret island we've found with a big sign".

Oh and the cat’s name is Chester! his defining quality is…being old

The Whollop Brothers @thewhollopbrothers.bsky.social · Aug 29

Miss Lindsay Ladel here has been aboard for a bit now…and we’ve only actually mentioned her name the one time. Do you think she’ll be sticking around, or hopping off at our next port? #comics #comcstrips #webcomics #cartoons #pirates #artistsinbluesky

Lindsay Ladel and Chester C. Cat walk through town, as Lindsay says "So we'll be sailing with them for a short time til we settle things with wukong". She continues with "They aren't exactly a 'cut-throat' crew, but I think they'll do for-' before Chester interrupts "Uh, ma'am?". They look upon the Sinking Anvil, which is decorated with balloons and a banner that says 'Friend-ship'. Lindsay responds "alright so maybe this was a mistake".

The Sinking Anvil crests some waves as it sails through the ocean. On board, Lindsay asks "So, like...If you guys don't really 'pillage or plunder' why do you bother calling yourselves pirates?". Walt and Willy stand at the other end of the ship, wearing hats and shirts adorned with jolly rogers and W's, making silly faces. Walt says "branding and merchandise".

The stern of the sloop 'the Sinking Anvil' erupts in an explosion, knocking the whole vessel to the side. Lindsay Ladel and Chester rise to their feet, as Lindsay groggily asks "is everyone okay?". Wallt responds "Its all good Lindsay, the rudder took most of the damage for us!", as he stands naively cheerful in front of the destroyed steering equipment.

A New Whollop Bros. is out! Y'know, between the brothers' hats and Wukong's home-run here, you might be excused for thinking this is a baseball comic... #comics #webcomic #cartoon #pirates

Sun Wukong is seen smacking a cannonball with his staff like a baseball, as sparks fly from the impact. Back at the Sinking Anvil, Lindsay lean towards Willy who's looking through a spyglass, in order to ask "watcha see?". Willy responds by lowering his spyglass and declaring "we should probably duck and cover".

Gonna take a slight break this week as we continue working hard behind the scenes!

The Whollop Brothers @thewhollopbrothers.bsky.social · Aug 6

Walt loves to nap in the ships spacious pants hole!

The Whollop Brothers @thewhollopbrothers.bsky.social · Aug 6

Ohohoho! Care to play a game? We’ve been pulling some whacky faces lately! recognize any?

Lindsay looks at a bewildered Walt sternly, as she states "...so while I appreciate your help, I'm worried if you aren't willing to get your hand hands dirty, we won't stand a chance against wukong." Willy interrupts the two by saying "cap'n!! I've spotted wukong's ship dead ahead!" Walt responds "good..." before striking a comedically dramatic expression and declaring "...prepare the bow cannons"

A chinese junk ship sails peacefully over the rocky seas, as on board, a small monkey reports to captain Sun Wukong. To short even to reach Wukong's sitting height, the monkey stands atop a barrel, saying "Captain, we've spotted a pirate sloop off our-". The monkey is cutoff though, as he is violently pushed aside by a cannonball, which seems to surprise even the disinterested Wukong. Wukong spins his head around, looking towards where the small monkey was shot, and asks "...off our what?!"

A New Whollop Bros. Comic is out!! Small reminder that monkies aren't just bunches of bananas and barrels of laughs, a few of these fellas are real frightenin'!! #comics #webcomics #pirates #cartoons

Sun Wukong rises from his chair, saying "Oh well... Y'know the old saying... ". He raises his hand to his ear, from which a small iron bar appears and grows, as he continues "...If you want a boat full of brats sunk...". Once the iron bar is the size of a proper bo staff, he rests it on his shoulders, looking forward with a wild expression, finishing with "...you sink them yourself!!".
